HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Trafficware’s CEO Jon Newhard will present at this year’s 83rd Annual United States Conference of Mayors Meeting on June 20th in San Francisco discussing “The Future of Traffic Management: Smart Solutions for Modern Cities.”

The Transportation and Communications Committee session will be held at 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. (Golden Gate 2-3, Lobby Level) at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel.

“Intelligent transportation is one of the killer applications for Smart Cities,” explains Trafficware Chief Executive Officer Jon Newhard. “The ‘internet of things’ is impacting transportation, and Trafficware is at the vanguard of this technological change, providing essential communication between the roadway and the intersection using the Pod wireless detection system, as well as communications between complementary software systems, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. For mayors looking for immediate value to their communities, these applications quickly improve public safety, traffic efficiency and the environment.”

This forum of discussion for the United States Conference of Mayors is a non-partisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are 1,407 such cities in the country, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor. This year President Barack Obama will address the group during its opening session, discussing issues facing communities around the country and innovative work being done to improve quality of life.

The primary roles of The U.S. Conference of Mayors are to: Promote the development of effective national urban/suburban policy; Strengthen federal-city relationships; Ensure that federal policy meets urban needs; Provide mayors with leadership and management tools; and Create a forum in which mayors can share ideas and information.
