The International Road Federation is pleased to support as a co-organiser the 4th TRB International Symposium on Freeway and Tollway Operations (ISFO) to be held on 26-30 June 2023 in Vienna under the theme “Innovation Advances Towards the Future of Managing Traffic”. The challenges lying before the road sector show the need to team up with other international platforms worldwide and to look beyond traditional traffic management to facilitate also multimodal mobility offers while tackling climate change.
