At zero cost, and practically zero carbon, BTR brings transportation engineers, planners, & policymakers together globally by removing the burden of travel, the cost of registration, & emissions associated with transport & accommodations – EVERY YEAR.
We look forward to seeing you, your colleagues, students, sponsors, & other transport enthusiasts on BTR#8,
Wednesday + Thursday August 12 & 13, 2026!

We solicit paper submissions from January through March each year (via past registrants & co-sponsoring organizations) and welcome transport researchers and practitioners from diverse disciplines, particularly individuals who are unable to obtain a visa or afford traveling to and participating in international conferences.
Since its inception in 2018, BTR is now in its eighth year, taking place on AUGUST 12 & 13, 2026 – in both hemispheres (so everyone can be wide awake for at least half the events).
Any further questions? Please see what to expect at BTR.
