Last week, Meghan Macias, T.E., Chad Karns, and Sina Salehipour attended the ITE Western District Annual Meeting in Bellevue, Washington, where transportation professionals from across the western U.S. explored the technologies and strategies shaping the future of transportation.
The conference reinforced how rapidly the industry is evolving. Artificial intelligence, connected infrastructure, advanced traffic operations, and data-driven safety analysis are becoming practical tools for improving mobility and creating safer transportation networks. At the same time, planning continues to expand beyond traditional traffic analysis, with greater emphasis on multimodal transportation, complete streets, active transportation, and VMT.
At EPD Solutions, staying engaged in these conversations helps us bring the latest industry insights and innovative, practical solutions to the transportation planning and engineering projects we deliver throughout California.
