Annual ITSVA Conference - 2005
On June 6-8, 2005, more than 180 ITS professionals and transportation industry
representatives attended the 11th Annual ITS Virginia Conference at the Omni Hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Sponsored by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the 11th Annual
Conference provided an update on technological innovations and presented new information on activities in highway security and freight
mobility. Representatives from VDOT presented the structure under which the new Operations Division will function.
 With keynote speeches from Pat McGowan of PB Farradyne and James Bacon publisher of Bacon’s
Rebellion the industry was spurred to discuss the future of ITS as a factor in the political process
and how to market an ITS package to the end consumer.
