TransportationCamp Coming to DC
Parts.Common.Body.Summary.cshtml – The template for summary of a content item's body.As someone who lives in the DC metro area, I’m very familiar with traffic congestion. In fact, before I leave to go anywhere I check Bing and local news sites for traffic incident reports. I even have a GPS that gets live traffic data and can route around major backups.
It’s just part of living in a major metro area and technology helps ease the pain.
It would be nice, however, if more people had access to these tools and made use of them.
That’s one of the aims of TransportaionCamp [ Add to Calendar | Register ]
TransportationCamp is a free "unconference" bringing together transportation professionals, technologists, and others interested in the intersection of urban transportation and technology.
After two successful TransportationCamp events in 2011 (East and West) we're coming to DC on January 21st, 2012. This is the day before the annual Transportation Research Board conference. Additional event details will be announced soon, but we encourage participants to sign up now. This will help us estimate space needs.
TransportationCamp DC is brought to you by OpenPlans, the Mobility Lab, part of Arlington County Commuter Services, and Greater Greater Washington.
