Transportation Symposium

immediately following the Mid-Session Summit

Building on two productive events in 2022 and 2023, Southeast Conference is again organizing a Transportation Symposium, to be held on day three of the SEC Mid-Session Summit. Special attention will be given to exciting work going on at the Alaska Marine Highway System, including updates on AMHS long-range planning efforts, vessel construction funding, vessel design work, and other features as AMHS looks to build the “fleet of the future”. The symposium is an opportunity to hear from and meet with state and federal transportation and granting agency officials. If your community or organization has, or plans to apply for, funding from the Port Infrastructure Development Program, RAISE grant, CTP, TAP, or another infrastructure program, the symposium will have relevance to you. Please join us on Thursday, February 8, 2024 at the Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall.
