8th Annual Region X Student Conference
Friday, February 18, 2011
Oregon State University (Corvallis, Ore.)

The Region X Student Transportation Conference is a showcase for student transportation research in the Pacific Northwest (Federal Region X) which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska. Region X serves as a microcosm of transportation for the entire country, with a diversity of modes, infrastructure systems, and area types that make it a prime testing ground for studies in transportation operations and planning.

Past Region X Student Conferences have been held at the University of Washington (2003 & 2008), Portland State University (2004 & 2007) and the University of Oregon (2009). The conference is entirely run for and by students. Students are able to present their research and exchange ideas with their peers in an environment that does not exist in the classroom or in other conferences. The conference includes both student presentations and a poster session to showcase the great student-led transportation research being done in the Northwest.

The 2010-2011 conference is hosted by the Oregon State University Student Chapter of ITE and sponsored by the Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium (OTREC).

Please join us in exploring student research in the transportation field!

Free Food: The conference will include a catered breakfast and lunch.

Free Registration: Registration is free for any student enrolled in a transportation program at a University in the Northwest. Online registration is now available and must be completed by Friday, February 4th. For more information, please contact Jon Mueller at jonathan.d.mueller@gmail.com.

Student Presentations and Poster Session

Interested students are invited to prepare a poster for general display, a 10- to 15-minute presentation, or both. Space is limited for both, so early registration is recommended. Presentations and posters can be on a range of topics, and collaboration with other students is welcomed. Students will vote on the best presentations and posters with an award ceremony at the end of the conference. Here are some guidelines and tips to assist you in preparing your poster. Contact Jon Mueller at jonathan.d.mueller@gmail.com if you have any questions regarding posters and presentations.
