International Association of Transportation Regulators
Multi-Modal Mobility Innovation For All!
Who We Are
The International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) is a non-profit, professional association of government transportation officials. Founded in 1989, the IATR 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.
These regulated industries include taxicabs, liveries, black cars, and limousines; paratransit and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT); micro-transit and micro-mobility (bikes, scooters, and e-mopeds); buses and motor coaches; Transportation Network Companies (TNCs); autonomous vehicles and robotaxis; delivery robots and last-mile logistics; drones and flying taxis; car sharing and pedicabs; as well as shared mobility and Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) platforms, including data standards and technology integration.
Join Us in Las Vegas: IATR 39th Annual Conference 2026
IATR Heads to Las Vegas, NV for its 39th Annual Conference: September 14-17, 2026
Published Feb 2026
We are excited to announce our 39th Annual Conference of the International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) www.iatr.global is coming to Las Vegas, Nevada, from September 14th through September 17th, 2026. The theme of our 2026 conference is “AV City: Autonomous Mobility,” reflecting the rapid evolution of automated, connected, and electrified transportation systems and the critical role regulators play in shaping their future.
Las Vegas has always been a city built on bold vision and transformative infrastructure. What began as a desert rail stop evolved into a global tourism and convention capital supported by sophisticated airport operations, intelligent traffic systems, and large-scale event management logistics. Today, Las Vegas stands at the forefront of autonomous mobility. Nevada was the first state in the nation to authorize autonomous vehicle testing, and the region has become a national hub for robotaxi deployment, advanced driver assistance systems, and smart transportation investments.
Like the city itself, mobility in Las Vegas is fast-moving, innovative, and ambitious. However, innovation without governance is incomplete. As shared connected automated electric vehicles scale from pilot programs to broader deployment, regulators face complex and urgent questions involving safety oversight, insurance frameworks, accessibility mandates, workforce transition, fare affordability, sustainability goals, and public trust. These are not theoretical discussions. They are unfolding in real time across jurisdictions around the world.
We are excited to convene the global IATR community in Las Vegas, not only for the energy and vibrancy of the city, but to experience firsthand how autonomous mobility is moving from concept to operational reality. Public and private sector collaboration will be on full display throughout the program. Like a high-stakes performance on the Las Vegas stage, the success of autonomous mobility requires coordination, precision, and accountability. Ensuring that regulatory frameworks evolve in step with technological innovation is essential to protecting the riding public while fostering responsible growth.
