The Secretary of Transportation has announced that the 2008 Fall Transportation Conference, scheduled for later this year, has been cancelled in an effort to reduce spending.
Secretary of Transportation Pierce Homer has instructed the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, the Department of Transportation and Virginia Tech to begin planning for the 2009 conference.
Virginia's transportation agencies remain committed to this event and the positive impact it has on the commonwealth's transportation system.
This year's cancellation reflects our efforts to be fiscally responsible and to cut discretionary spending to balance the budget, as directed by Gov. Tim Kaine.
All 2008 exhibitor space and sponsorship reservations will be released and payments will be refunded. Contacts >>
