The American Public Transportation Association conference and expo drew 13,700 attendees to the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago in early October.
Breakout sessions covered issues including transit funding, autonomous transit experiments, transit safety and a look back at how public transportation agencies managed during the FIFA World Cup matches.
A panel of three mayors from Southern, car-centric cities also discussed their efforts to improve transportation in their communities.
The expo, held every three years, showcased trains, buses, integrated fare payment systems and AI innovations for predictive rail maintenance, real-time passenger information and bus dispatching.
Here are the stories we brought back from Chicago.

Transportation infrastructure is one of the core issues receiving special attention in Hanoi 's smart city development roadmap.
Notably, the direct application of digital data to infrastructure management, including the deployment of a digital map-based traffic infrastructure management system, is creating a foundation for transitioning to data-driven governance.
This shows that digital infrastructure is no longer viewed simply as a system of servers, transmission lines, or software.
Through this, a smart city is demonstrated through effective governance and the quality of life for its citizens.
“Hanoi has a great opportunity to build a smart city, where data becomes a new resource, technology becomes a governance tool, and citizens are the direct beneficiaries.

The global bullet cameras market is entering a phase of structural transformation as security requirements converge with digital infrastructure investment.
Pricing pressure is expected to persist in entry-level analog segments, whereas differentiated thermal, 4K, and AI-edge bullet cameras should command stable margins.
Bullet cameras are favored for roadside, bridge, and utility perimeter deployments where long-range visibility and weather resistance are essential.
Homeowners favor bullet cameras for driveway, yard, and entryway coverage due to their visible deterrent effect and ease of mounting.
Market Outlook (2026-2035) In the baseline scenario, IndexBox estimates a 3.6% compound annual growth rate for the global bullet cameras market over 2026-2035, bringing the market index to roughly 142 by 2035 (2025=100).

Career-connected learning is moving quickly into the mainstream.
The question is no longer whether career-connected learning will grow, but what kind of experiences that growth will create.
The CAPS (Center for Advanced Professional Studies) Network connects students with professional experiences across roughly 140 high school career-connected learning programs in 32 states.
Career-connected learning should also be judged by what students learn about themselves, the relationships they build and what they are able to contribute before they graduate.
These examples are still works in progress, and they raise questions that will become more important as career-connected learning expands.

Gasgoo Munich- NavInfo has secured a roughly 100.26 million yuan contract to supply roadside intelligent perception equipment for Beijing's "Dual Smart" City 4.0 project in Fangshan District.
Image source: NavInfo This marks the first direct contract NavInfo has won as the lead bidder for roadside perception equipment under the city's 4.0 phase.
The focus has shifted — rather than serving vehicle-road autonomous driving, the project now targets smart city and traffic management.
NavInfo said the win validates both its underlying data capabilities and its ability to deliver roadside perception systems.
Moving from the "spatiotemporal base" of Tongzhou's 3.0 phase to the "perception delivery" of Fangshan's 4.0 phase, NavInfo is leveraging high-definition maps to build an end-to-end capability chain — from raw data to roadside perception.
