The 2026 edition marks the organisation’s 40th annual conference and will take place in Philadelphia, USA, from 25 to 28 July 2026.

About the Event

The ACT International Conference brings together professionals working across commuter transportation and TDM, including those in employer transport programmes, transit agencies, transport management associations, policy bodies and related fields. The conference serves as the primary forum for the TDM community to share knowledge, discuss emerging challenges and examine developments in commuter transportation practice and policy.

About the Organiser

The Association for Commuter Transportation is the premier professional body and leading advocate for commuter transportation and TDM professionals in the United States.

Key Themes

As with previous editions, the 2026 conference is expected to cover topics central to the TDM profession, including employer commuter benefits, vanpooling, carpooling, micromobility, shuttle services, transit integration and the use of technology in managing commuter demand. Policy developments at the federal and regional level are also a recurring focus, reflecting ACT’s role as an industry advocate.

Audience

The conference draws attendees from across the commuter transportation landscape, including transport demand managers, mobility coordinators, transit professionals, policymakers, technology providers and TDM consultants.
