More than 150 attendees have signed up for the brunch. You can too.
Members of the regional business community will join regional and statewide leaders in transportation and government at the 2024 RTA Transportation Brunch on August 6, where we will explore projects and initiatives to accelerate multimodal freeways in the Triangle that will help get us moving faster, together. The line-up of speakers is very strong and can be viewed here.
This year’s brunch event is also the 2024 annual meeting of the I-40 Regional Partnership — a cooperative initiative of RTA and NCDOT with other area partners, founded 15 years ago to provide an ongoing focus on I-40 for travel and commerce.
Thank you to the members of the RTA Regional Leadership Team for making this event possible. In addition, thank you to our event sponsors The Research Triangle Foundation of North Carolina (premier sponsor), Martin Marietta, Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority, and the Sunrock Group.
Sponsorship opportunities remain available — please contact my colleague Jacob Rigg with any questions. You can also reach out to Jacob with registration questions, including confirming the tickets included with your membership. RTA members and partners can purchase additional tickets here.
Sign-up to attend — or speak — at the next RTA General Membership meeting
On Thursday, October 24th, from 9 am to 10 am– we will have an online-only RTA General Membership and partnership meeting, where we focus on two key priorities: 1) Our ongoing emphasis on going faster to maximize and leverage transportation funding and success, and 2) Our focus on advancing sustainability and grappling with associated tradeoffs.
RTA member firms who are engaged in either of those areas — whether or not they are directly related to transportation and mobility — are encouraged to send us a note with a topic they would like to potentially present on to the regional business community and our partners at the meeting. First priority will be for our RTA Leadership Team companies. Let me know if you have questions on this opportunity.
