The Public Transit & Technology Exchange (PTTX) brought together transit leaders, innovators, and technology partners to explore the future of mobility, network, and talk business. From forward-thinking discussions on operations and funding to one-on-one meetings that bring buyers and sellers together, the event successfully provided more intimate opportunities than you'd get at a traditional tradeshow. Browse our photo gallery for a look at the people, sessions, and moments that defined PTTX.
