• Abstract:
  The U.S. transportation system stands at the center of virtually all economic ; activity in the country today. Effects of a lengthy global recession are radically and ; rapidly reshaping transportation priorities and needs. Now more than ever, freight ; transportation, logistics, and manufacturing industries must critically analyze the ; driving forces behind these high-impact changes, future freight patterns, and critical ; dependencies to shape appropriate freight policy and system investment priorities. ; During the 15th Annual Freight and Logistics Symposium, representatives from the ; business, academic, and public sectors gathered to discuss trends and the effects of ; these economic changes on freight and logistics providers.
