"The Future of Transportation?" 
  
This vitally important topic embraces both regional and national

transportation strategy and infrastructure. It will review current 
practice and give an insight into future needs and alternative 
modes.

We are at a time when the transport industry is responding to 
recent policy guidelines which raised the profile of a multi-modal 
holistic approach to the assessment and provision of transport 
infrastructure.  This seminar takes forward the President's theme 
and looks at the current strategy and how it is being realised in a 
number of relevant fields, both regionally and nationally.

The eminent speakers have a wide range of experience and 
success in their particular fields and should stimulate lively 
discussion.
