Surface Transportation Technical Group

To align with suggestions from HFES, promote participation, and enable our community to attend multiple technical group meetings, this year's STTG business meeting will be virtual. I can only assume we love virtual meetings just as much as you! 👐The virtual STTG business meeting will take place prior to the HFES/ASPIRE Annual Meeting and is scheduled for August 29 (Thurs) at 530PM CT.       For those unable to attend, we will share a summary and recording of the meeting on the STTG website.  HFES is in the process of setting up a virtual meeting and we will share this information with you as soon as possible. 💫For those attending the HFES/ASPIRE Annual Meeting in Phoenix, the STTG will have a social event on Tuesday (9/10) at 530PM across the street at the Adobe Bar & Grill.   We look forward to seeing you in Phoenix!
