The Buy America Transit Supply Chain Connectivity Forum is designed to bring large transit OEMs and Tier 1 Suppliers together with smaller, capable and interested U.S. manufacturers in an effort to facilitate the use of a higher percentage of domestic suppliers in transit products and systems. The Forum will provide a venue for smaller manufacturers to learn what products are needed and find out more about investments they need to consider when entering the transit industry. Key stakeholders that will participate include:
The forum will take place May 7, 2014 at the Kansas City Convention Center in Kansas City, Missouri. From 8:00AM to 5:00PM manufacturers will hear from US Department of Transportation representatives, panel discussions featuring suppliers and OEMs (two separate panels) and have the opportunity for one-on-one scheduled meetings with the OEM agents.
