The 13th ITS Asia Pacific Forum will be held in Auckland from the 28-30 April, 2014, the first time New Zealand has hosted a global ITS conference. The event also coincides with the 10th Anniversary of ITS New Zealand, over which time the organisation has been a leader in the promotion, development and facilitation of sustainable, effective, efficient, safe and environmentally friendly transportation systems within the country. In keeping with this core vision, the conference theme, ‘SCORE’, will highlight five key areas:

• Safety – the role of technology in improving transport safety, including smart transport such as connected vehicles
• Choices – encouraging discussion, promoting cooperation, and ensuring productive relationships and the dissemination of information
• Opportunities – identifying and optimising future opportunities
• Results – celebration and sharing of positive results, whilst using all results as a learning platform
• Efficiencies – ensuring value for money from transport investments
