WASHINGTON, DC, March 31, 2008 - With less than eight months left before the 15th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems kicks off, the 250,000 square foot exhibit hall at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center is nearly sold out, it was announced today by ITS America President and CEO, Scott Belcher. There are only five 10'x10' spaces and five 10'x20' spaces left in the entire exhibit hall.

"We have seen an extremely high level of participation by our members, with many of them asking for larger booth space this year," said Belcher. "We have also seen an increase in the total number of exhibiting companies. In fact, 37 more businesses are exhibiting compared to the number of exhibitors at the 2005 World Congress in San Francisco."

The exhibit hall will also feature nine international pavilions, the first ITS America State Chapter pavilion, and a local agency pavilion that includes the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New Jersey Department of Transportation, New Jersey Transportation Planning Authority, New York City Department of Transportation, New York State Department of Transportation, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and TRANSCOM.

The exhibit space for the World Congress was expanded a record five times and can not be further increased. With just a handful of spaces left, it is clear that the exhibit hall will soon be full.
