CALL FOR PAPERS

Access to Destinations 2
August 23 and 24, 2007
University of Minnesota

In November 2004, the Center for Transportation Studies at the
University of Minnesota hosted Access to Destinations, a conference
featuring over 25 invited papers and 75 attendees. The international
conference resulted in a set of proceedings and a book containing
select papers; information is available at:

   http://www.cts.umn.edu/access-study/publications/

Building on the success of the 2004 conference, the Center for
Transportation Studies at the University of Minnesota is sponsoring a
follow-up two-day conference with a similar theme: "Access to
Destinations."

Issues that this conference seeks to address include:
-The relationship between transportation services, the location of
activities, and the ability of individuals to access destinations
including work, education, medical care, shopping and recreation.
-The factors influencing the location decisions of households and
organizations and investment and service provision decisions of
public agencies and private firms.
-The effectiveness of policies, including land development
strategies, zoning, and neighborhood designs in affecting accessibility.

This two-day conference is scheduled for August 23 and 24, 2007, on
the University of Minnesota campus. It will feature a half-day of
presentations and discussions open to a select public, followed by a
day-and-a-half of presentations and discussions with approximately 75
invited-only participants and researchers. The meeting will be
launched by commissioned papers from select international researchers
addressing various issues related to accessibility, land use, and
transportation. These leading researchers will also serve as
rapporteurs to vet papers received from this call.

Additional manuscripts are being solicited through this call for
abstracts to be presented during the invited-only sessions.

== Submission ==

Researchers with an interest in accessibility are invited to submit
abstracts for consideration. Accessibility is traditionally defined
as the ease with which destinations (customers, suppliers,
activities) can be reached, but this can be operationalized in many
ways: for different travelers, to different destinations, using
different means of travel, and incorporating different measures of
travel quality.

Papers breaking new ground or illustrating the state of art in
applications and empirical research, theoretical, or methodological
aspects of accessibility research are particularly welcome. The
organizers strongly encourage multi-disciplinary approaches.

Abstracts (approximately 1,000 words) are due February 7, 2007 to
David Levinson: [log in to unmask] .

Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a full paper
of approximately 5,000 - 7,500 words. The paper will be due in
electronic format by June 1, 2007, which would be distributed to
other conference presenters as well as participants.

The 2004 Access to Destinations Conference resulted in a peer-
reviewed book published by Elsevier showcasing several works from the
meeting. We again anticipate publication of selected articles from
this conference in a bound volume or journal special issue.

Limited funds are available to reimburse expenses of some presenters;
please submit this request with your abstract.

Regards,

David Levinson and Kevin J. Krizek
