The Tennessee Public Transportation Association holds its statewide conference and expo
October 25-28 in Franklin. The dates come off the association's home page. Program, host
agency and venue are not yet published, and there is no dedicated event page for the 2027
edition.

## Why it matters for the data layer

Tennessee pairs a handful of mid-sized urban systems with a long rural tail, and the state
association meeting is where both show up. That mix makes it a useful read on how state
DOT funded small operators actually handle their data, their dispatch software and their
fare technology, as opposed to how the vendor brochure says they do.

TDOT transit staff and the exhibiting vendors are in the room too, which is where the
gap between what a small agency can operate and what it is being sold tends to surface.
