# IBTTA Spotlights Arlington Tolling Procurement

The International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association’s 94th Annual Meeting runs November 12–15, 2026, in Arlington, Texas, with sessions focused on federal surface-transportation funding, V2X tolling, AI, and managed-lane procurement. The program includes investment discussions on public-private partnerships, unsolicited proposals, and managed lanes, but the signal identifies no specific solicitation or contract award. The article also flags a December 11, 2026 extension deadline for surface-transportation programs.

- Public agencies and contractors can use the meeting’s procurement and investment sessions to assess potential P3, managed-lane, and connected-vehicle opportunities; these are market discussions, not announced procurements.
- **Key deadline:** The surface-transportation program extension deadline is December 11, 2026, 30 days from the current date.
- Transportation firms may find the V2X and AI discussions relevant to tolling and connected-vehicle planning, while distinguishing those emerging areas from funded solicitations.
