Abstract:From September-November 1993, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Federico Pena sponsored a series of meetings, called "Promoting Transportation Applications in Defense Conversion and Other Advanced Technologies," to advance President Bill Clinton's technology policy to reinforce the Administration's commitment to transportation-related research. Day-long seminars were held in cooperation with four universities across the country: the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; the University of California, Davis; the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge; and the University of Texas, Austin. About 300 leaders in state and local government, industry, small business, and academia came together with the goal of matching transportation research and development needs with advanced technologies residing in the national laboratories and defense industries. Numerous key transportation research and development needs amenable to current technological solutions were identified, as well as promising advanced technologies. The seminar series was developed and planned by the Office of the Secretary and the Department's Volpe National Transportation Systems Center.
