What is HEEP?
About HEEP
The Highway Engineering Exchange Program (HEEP) is an international organization which promotes engineering technology and software solutions relating to international, state, and local highway transportation agencies/organizations.
How did it start?
Geographic Areas
HEEP originally formed at an informal meeting of several western states held in Portland, Oregon, in 1956. The first official HEEP meeting was an organizational session held in San Jose, California, in 1959. A large number of states were represented, and they voted to inaugurate area and national meetings. At the San Jose meeting, the first president was elected. Annual meetings have been held each year since 1959.
Benefits of HEEP
The International Highway Engineering Exchange Conference gathers together transportation engineers, technicians, officials and industry representatives from various countries, states, counties, cities, and consulting firms, from both North America and Europe, to explore all aspects of technology related to highway transportation. This conference provides an exceptional PEER exchange of information, ideas, and experiences, as well as exposure to the latest technological advances and solutions. In addition, our vendor partners provide informative presentations and also demonstrate their software and hardware solutions in the vendor display area adjacent to the meeting facilities. Members often work together with vendors to help formulate the technical road maps for future software and technology developments.
