In the increasingly complex world of public transit, few things are more impactful than sharing best practices with like-minded peers and learning about the latest trends from industry thought leaders. Every year, hundreds of transit industry experts across North America gather to connect, learn, and discuss the future of transit at ThinkTransit.
The full agenda for this year’s event includes keynote speakers who will share their stories about the daily challenges of transit and staying on top of an ever-evolving industry. ThinkTransit welcomes transit executives, managers, and Vontas and Trapeze product users to come together and exceed passenger expectations.
Sharing Best Practices and Product Innovation
Participants will listen in on a slate of sessions aimed at improving transit experiences at their agencies. Featured products will include Vontas OnTransit, OnRoute, and OnSite. Here’s a look at the Vontas agenda for ThinkTransit 2024.
