• Abstract:
  On January 9, 2009, a compendium of U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), State, and Local transportation officials, as well as industry experts, convened to discuss six existing and emerging crucial transportation topics. This diverse group of transportation experts heard background briefings on each topic and engaged in detailed dialogue and discussions to identify critical research needs needed to support the surface transportation legislative reauthorization. The six topics highlighted for consideration by meeting participants consisted of: 1) Future markets for public-private partnerships, 2) Implications of alternative fuels on transportation, 3) Policies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with freight movements, 4) Linking transportation and land use, 5) Achieving intermodal interoperability for freight movements Impacts of higher fuel costs.
