Smart Transit is the go-to event portfolio for senior industry professionals across North America looking to keep abreast of the rapid pace of change in the passenger transit sector.

Taking place in Denver, CO, this year’s Smart Transit West conference will discuss developments affecting transit authorities and agencies in the western USA and Canada, where transit networks developed over the past few decades are expanding to serve both cities and their suburban communities. Technical innovation, operational flexibility and a strong customer focus are key to exploiting new opportunities. Investment strategies need to balance continuing expansion against the provision for future obsolescence and asset renewals, but digitalization and advanced technology have much to offer.

Denver transit agency RTD is official event partner for Smart Transit West 2022. The agency will be providing attendees with a pre-conference tour of its operations, while presentations from senior staff members will offer case studies looking at recent initiatives in advanced signalling and real-time passenger information systems, as well as an overview of the expanding light rail, commuter rail and bus networks.
