Wild & Wonderful West Virginia is the perfect backdrop for the 2010 National Rural Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Conference. Hosted in historic Huntington, a city known for river, rail and trail, attendees can enjoy riverboat dinners, train tours, outdoor adventures and more. As the college town in the movie We Are... Marshall, downtown Huntington offers shopping at Pullman Square, fine dining and concerts at Harris Riverfront Park. Dozens of technical sessions will complement full and half-day training opportunities. Add networking functions and an ever-expanding vendor exhibition and you’ll understand how this conference lives up to its theme - The Bridge to Success: Engineering the Future of Rural ITS.

Public Sector Scholarship Fund. Sponsored in part by M.H. Corbin, Inc. The Public Sector Scholarship Fund is a tool for increasing public sector participation in the National Rural ITS (NRITS) Conference. Funds are disbursed in increments of $500 to individuals who are attending the NRITS Conference for the first time and whose employing agency has not sent an attendee to the conference in the past year. Applicants must be public sector employees and must complete an application to be considered. The number of scholarships awarded will be based, in part, on available funds. While all applications must be received by Friday, June 25, 2010, it is recommended that you apply early as funds will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
