Welcome

Welcome! The Pacific Northwest Transportation Consortium (PacTrans) Region 10 University Transportation Center is excited to invite you to the 12th Annual PacTrans Transportation conference.   

We are proud to continue the tradition of providing a premier forum for transportation research in the Pacific Northwest. Each year the conference aims to hear from leaders in transportation, showcase innovation in technology and research, provide a means for collaboration, and advance the transportation workforce. This year’s theme is Transportation Systems Empowered by Innovation: Safe, Adaptive, and Connected.

This one-day event will be hosted by PacTrans and the University of Alaska Anchorage’s (UAA) College of Engineering on the UAA campus in Anchorage Alaska. We have a wonderful in-person agenda planned to engage professionals, researchers, faculty, students, and community members from throughout the Pacific Northwest.
