ACT International Conference

ACT International Conference

The ACT International Conference is the largest annual gathering of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) professionals in the industry. Organised by the Association for Commuter Transportation (ACT), the event brings together commuter transportation specialists, policy professionals and employer mobility managers from across the United States and beyond. The 2026 edition marks ACT’s 40th Annual International Conference and will take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 25 to 28 July 2026.

About the Event

The ACT International Conference serves as the premier annual forum for TDM professionals to engage with current research, policy developments and industry practice. The event covers the full spectrum of commuter transportation topics, reflecting ACT’s position as the leading advocacy and professional body for the sector. Attendance typically spans a wide range of professionals, including those working in transportation management associations, corporate mobility programmes, public transit agencies and government bodies.

Key Topics

As with previous editions, the 2026 conference is expected to address core themes within the TDM field. These include employer commuter benefit programmes, carpool and vanpool solutions, micromobility, shuttle operations, transit integration and the use of technology to influence travel behaviour. Policy discussions are a consistent feature of the conference, reflecting ACT’s active engagement with federal legislation and surface transportation reauthorisation efforts.
