CONSENT FOR USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES?
By participating ATSSA’s Annual Convention & Traffic Expo you grant permission to record and/or photograph your participation. It also grants ATSSA permission to use these images in future publication and promotions.
I received an email solicitation to purchase the ATSSA Annual Convention attendee mailing list. Is my information being sold?
ATSSA does not share the email addresses of Annual Meeting attendees. Anyone (other than ATSSA) who claims to have such a list is acting without ATSSA's participation or approval. ATSSA has no reason to believe any such list would represent the actual Annual Meeting attendee list. ATSSA recommends that you do not click on any links in the email and that you delete it immediately. ATSSA also recommends that you do not request to be removed from the mailing list as that likely would confirm to the sender that your email address is valid and thus may result in additional solicitations.
when are exhibit sales open?
Exhibit booth sales for 2025 are open to the public! Early bird rates ended June 5; regular rates now apply. Visit online exhibit sales or contact ATSSA Sales with questions.
Will scholarships for public agency officials be made available?
ATSSA offers scholarships to public agency officials, department of transportation (DOT) employees or new engineers to attend the event. The 2025 application period opened June 10 and is now closed as of Aug. 30. Applicants were notified starting Sept. 18 then had until Nov. 1 to register and submit their housing information. If you applied for a scholarship, DO NOT REGISTER until you have received your application decision. Additional information is available on the Public Agency Officials webpage.

How can I support The atss foundation during convention?
The ATSS Foundation is the non-profit charitable arm of ATSSA, which promotes roadway safety awareness. The highly-popular Sporting Clays Event and the Golf Classic Tournament are held in conjunction with the Convention & Traffic Expo. The National Work Zone Memorial is also displayed with the ATSSA booth during Traffic Expo. New for 2025, be sure to visit our Pavilion Puppies for some four-legged therapy, followed by a voluntary donation to the Foundation!
