Kentucky Section ITE
January 2019 News and Updates

A new year brings a new board member! In this newsletter you will be selecting a new KYSITE Secretary. We only have one person running for this position and we want to thank Graham Winchester with Stantec for volunteering his time and expertise this year. Please fill out the election survey below!

An additional topic covered is the 2019 Southern District ITE conference in Arlington, Virginia. We hope to see a good contingent of conference goers form Kentucky. This year's conference is a joint meeting between the Southern and the Mid-Colonial District, a total of 16 states and their personnel will be involved. It's a fantastic event that will be held in a fantastic city (hopefully the shutdown will be over and the Smithsonian will be open for visitors!)

We also hope to be sharing a date for the Ohio and Kentucky Joint ITE meeting this Spring. This meeting has been a smashing success the last few years and we intend for it to be the same in 2019.

Ford has announced that it will deploy cellular vehicle-to-everything technology in all new US cars and trucks by 2022. Ford said the 5G-based technology could be used in combination with driving aids like its Co-Pilot360 suite or added to self-driving cars but added that regulatory changes will be necessary to see the technology's benefits.
