About the AACE Transit Forum
The AACE Transit Forum is a thought leadership community dedicated to AACE members who are active in the transit sector. It will serve as a think tank and a gathering place for cost engineering and project controls professionals within the transit sector, to work together to address common challenges, share experiences, solutions, resources, and lessons learned, and gain additional insights from experts in the field.

The AACE Transit Forum will hold quarterly meetings (3 virtual meetings during the span of the year and one in-person meeting at the AACE Annual Conference & Expo). Each meeting will feature a topic led by a transit agency and will tackle issues that are most relevant to the transit sector.
