DHM Co-presents With ODOT at International Summit
Alongside Judith Gray, Congestion Pricing Project Manager for ODOT, DHM’s CEO, Michelle Neiss, Ph.D., participated in a panel on connecting with elected officials at the IBTTA Communication and Change Management Summit.
Using their experience and findings from the recent ODOT Value Pricing study conducted by DHM, Navigating Tough Conversations About Tolling, provided ways to build strong relationships between agencies and elected officials. Michelle discussed the need for elected officials to understand any gaps between what they know and believe and what the public knows and believes, noting that research can help elected officials think through the impact on—or conversations with—different groups within their constituency. Judith led an informative and well-received talk about how her work, as an agency staff person, supports electeds making tough decisions
The International Bridge, Tunnel & Turnpike Association (IBTTA) is the worldwide association for the owners and operators of toll facilities and the businesses that serve them. The summit, Communication Invasion: We Are All In This Together, addressed an array of issues affecting tolling and mobility professionals’ entire workforce.
