The Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance 5th Annual
What You Need to Know About Transportation
Seminar
On September 9th, 2009, the Alliance held its 5th Annual What You Need to Know About Transportation Seminar at Capital One in McLean, VA. The event attracted over 200 attendees, including numerous state and local officials.
Education has always been a fundamental part of the Alliance’s mission. The Alliance was founded more than 20 years ago on the premise that a well-informed public is key to better regional transportation.
By working very hard to inform AND involve the public in regional transportation matters, The Alliance has made a major difference.
