The International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) held their 38th annual conference (www.iatr.global) in Nashville, Tennessee, September 26-30 at the Graduate by Hilton Hotel.
The theme of the conference, “Regulatory Movement: A Mobility Symphony,” covered a wide variety of topics, including:

- The Taxi & For-Hire Insurance Crisis: Root Causes, Reforms & Regulatory Actions.
- Modernizing Mobility: The Latest Trends & Partnerships (Fares, Wages, Data/Technology & Vehicle Caps)
- Public Transit Partnerships with Taxis, FHVs and TNCs
- Nightlife Transportation: Mobility Management & Trends
The IATR is a non-profit, professional association of government transportation officials. Founded in 1989, it is an educational organization that promotes the exchange of information and best practices among government agencies that license, regulate, and/or contract with for-hire ground transportation and emerging mobility services
Arif Welcher: Some people want to deny climate change, but when you look at the changes in weather, the increases in the severity of storms, it’s clear we need to address it.
Wilson Rosa: Telematics can help coach drivers and improve safety. Transparency and tort reform together will create a safer market.
Michele Dottin: Transitioning tens of thousands of vehicles to EVs by 2030 is problematic for so many reasons. The power grid in NYC was built in the 1800s
Josh Gold: Mobility regulators should support more creativityin the insurance market to make things better and safer. Insurance costs are simply unsustainable
Ira Goldstein gets applause from the crowd of regulators as he describes The Black Car Fund’s many accomplishments.

Lisa Daglian: Congestion pricing is working. There are 12% fewer cars entering the zone daily. Traffic injuries and crash are down, and taxi, FHV and HVFHV trips are all up.
Jeremy Moskowitz: Telematics and dashcams can help change driver behaviors. I’d rather spend money on useful technologies than higher insurance rates.
