We have an exciting afternoon planned for you, with the presentation of our first TransportationMATTERS annual report as well as Ohio's infrastructure report card.

A panel discussion, that includes experts in vehicle miles traveled (VMT), local finance, mobility and retaining talent in Ohio. The panel will combine TM's four key focus areas:

• Economic Competitiveness,
• World Class Mobility,
• Quality of Life and
• Maximize Funding

We will then break out into groups to strategize our state and federal platforms. And wrap the day up with a speaker from ARTBA to discuss a modal view of the federal agenda and how our coalition can be successful in representing Ohio.
