Transport Futures 2012: Goods Movement & Mobility Pricing Forum
Start: May 31, 2012 - 08:00 AM
End: May 31, 2012 - 06:00 PM
{IMG(fileId="803",stylebox="float: right; margin: 3px 3px 3px 3px;",alt="Transport Futures 2012")}{IMG} It is a huge understatement to say that the goods movement sector is vital to Ontario’s economy. Without trucks, trains, ships, planes, vans, buses, cars, bikes, foot messengers and a vast network of logistics professionals, we wouldn’t have the products and services we need to survive and prosper. But inadequate transport infrastructure, increasing traffic congestion, fuel costs and hours on the road threatens economic competitiveness, provincial investment opportunities and our quality of life. How would reasonable road tolls, fuel taxes and parking fees positively or negatively affect the freight industry? Join us to learn from, debate and generate new mobility pricing strategies with our international and Canadian freight experts: *__Ian Parry__, International Monetary Fund, Washington, DC, USA *__Andreas Kossak__, Kossak Research & Consulting, Hamburg, Germany *__José Holguin-Veras__, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Albany, NY, USA *__Lisa Salsberg__, Metrolinx, Toronto, ON *__Robin Lindsey__, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC *__Stephen Laskowski__, Ontario Trucking Association, Toronto, ON *__Wayne Scott__, HOOF&CYCLE Courier Coalition, Toronto, ON *__John Dolbec__, TransHub Ontario, Hamilton, ON *__David Turnbull__, Canadian Courier and Logistics Association, Toronto, ON ^ __~~#5d9733:Sustainable Prosperity members and supporters receive a 10% registration discount!! ~~__ Enter ===__SUSP9__=== in the discount code (DC) box after completing your online personal information.
