Dear Colleague,
As I announced earlier, there will be an international symposium on
"The theory and practice of congestion charging", with the emphasis
on
the theory, at Imperial College London from 18 to 20 August (the
week
following IATBR). The symposium, dedicated to the late Professor
Peter Hills who devoted the latter part of his professional life to
the subject (see www.ncl.ac.uk/torg), consists of two days of
presentations followed by a technical tour. The event is free but the
number of spaces is limited by the size of the lecture hall. If you
wish to attend, and have not done so already, please send your name
and contact details to [log in to unmask] by 9 June. We will inform
those of you interested in attending whether or not there is
sufficient space for you by 16 June. The deadlines have been
advanced
to allow attendees more time to make travel arrangements. The
current
programme is: Theory and practice of congestion charging
