Transportation Technology, Green Economy, Big Data Take Center Stage at SCAG’s 2019 Regional Conference

More than 500 leaders from throughout Southern California are gathering here for a three-day conference on topics ranging from innovative and emerging transportation technology to harnessing the enormous potential of the green economy to using big data to address local and regional challenges.

The 2019 Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Regional Conference and General Assembly is bringing together experts in transportation, technology and economic development under the theme, “Beyond Boundaries.” The conference will explore what it means to truly connect a region of 191 cities, identify paths to strengthening leadership and community-building around traffic safety, and provide tangible strategies for harnessing new technologies.

“This is such an incredible time for our region – as the economic hub of California and the global leader in transportation planning and emerging technologies. The decision makers and thought leaders we’re convening will have the opportunity to share ideas and help prepare us – as communities and as a region – for an even more promising future,” said Alan D. Wapner, an Ontario City Council member whose one-year term as President of SCAG ends this week.
