We are excited to announce our 38^th annual conference of the International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) www.iatr.global is coming to Nashville, Tennessee from September 26^th through September 30^th, 2025.  The theme of our 2025 conference is “Regulatory Movement: A Mobility Symphony,” to celebrate and combine the regulatory trends of the moment with our phenomenal host jurisdiction, known as “Music City.”

The history of Nashville mobility started with river routes and footpaths and evolved over time to a car-dependent city with many public transit options. In the last decade or so Nashville has experienced significant population growth and increased tourism, creating traffic congestion, nightlife transportation and other mobility challenges. However, plans and policies are in place and being developed, including the “Choose How You Move” transportation improvement plan which showcases a true commitment to multi-modality – consistent with the IATR’s mission of “Multi-Modal Mobility Innovation for All!” 

We are excited to go to Music City, not just for the great food and music – and for our “Rocking Regulators,” but also to experience firsthand how Nashville is improving its multi-modal transportation ecosystem. Public-private transport solutions and integration will be on full display as part of the content of our program and will jive with the essence of the city’s music history. Like any great musical composition, there are many instruments (or transport modes) that must harmonize together like a mobility symphony – connecting the regulatory melodies of safety, sustainability, equity and accessibility with the rhythm of movement. Ensuring that regulations and laws are modernized to allow for Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) across modes is critical to staying in tune with the needs of the riding public. This conference theme and program sync perfectly with this dynamic and evolving city, and we are excited to welcome everyone and have a good time while learning and networking. 

Many thanks go out to our host city and agency, the City of Nashville, its Department of Transportation and Multimodal Infrastructure, and of course its Transportation Licensing Director Richard Rooker and his staff.  Our conference planning team has selected and secured the Graduate by Hilton Nashville and early bird registration and sponsorship is now open.
