The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and IBTTA have pledged to work together to advance public policies that allow states to use toll financing, wherever they may choose, including on the interstate highways where U.S. federal law has traditionally banned the use of tolls. AASHTO is the association that represents all state departments of transportation in the U.S. 2011 IBTTA President Frank McCartney signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on behalf of IBTTA during AASHTO’s annual meeting in Detroit on October 17, 2011. AASHTO President Susan Martinovich signed the MOU on behalf of AASHTO.
IBTTA took a major step toward “going global” in 2004 when we joined with ASECAP — then the European Association of Tolled Motorway, Bridge and Tunnel Concessionaires — and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organizations. Our first cooperative venture under this agreement took place in 2005 when we held the International Transportation Finance Summit in Nice, France. In 2013, in Dubrovnik, Croatia, IBTTA and ASECAP, now the European Association of Operators of Toll Road Infrastructures, again joined together in signing a Joint Tolling Declaration. Through this strategic alliance, IBTTA and ASECAP aim to raise the visibility and the state of the art of tolling around the world.

The Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO) founded in 1971, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing minorities in the transportation industry. With over 30 chapters in the U.S. and Canada, COMTO is driven by a mission to ensure opportunities and participation in transportation for minorities, veterans, people with disabilities and certified MWDBE (minority, women or disadvantaged-owned) businesses through leadership training, professional development, scholarship and internship funding, advocacy, partnership building and networking opportunities. COMTO will celebrate its 50th year of expanding opportunities for minorities in transportation as an organization in 2021.
IBTTA and COMTO joined in partnership in 2021 in signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote careers for women and minorities in transportation.
