Researchers from the STRIDE Center will present the latest products emerging from their cutting-edge transportation research during a 3-day virtual showcase. Each day will feature tools and strategies around a central theme. The event will take place on November 16, 17, and 18, from 12 PM to 2 PM, ET via Zoom. There is no cost to register. The presentations will be recorded and posted after the event.
State DOT professionals, transit agencies, planners, and researchers will have the opportunity to learn about five or more products during each day followed by a discussion with expert panelists in the field.
The STRIDE Center is the USDOT grant-funded 2016 Regional University Transportation Center comprised of 10 colleges and universities in the southeast. The University of Florida is the lead institute.
