Transportation Academy at the 2020 NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting
The 2020 NDTA-USTRANSCOM Fall Meeting will be unlike any annual meeting held in the Association’s 75 years of existence. Transportation Academy, held in conjunction with the conference, will feature up to 80 virtual classes with instructors and attendees joining from offices, homes, or any location they may find themselves worldwide.
