Transport Chicago is an annual conference dedicated to the mission of improving transportation in the Chicago region and beyond. Originally conceived as a student-led forum, today Transport Chicago brings together seasoned experts and professionals of all ages for a one-day fun, engaging, and semi-formal conference setting.
Every year, the goal is to ignite the conversation. Transport Chicago provides a platform to exchange ideas and knowledge and to build the relationships that are necessary to solve the complex transportation problems of today and tomorrow.
