TORONTO – The Canadian Transportation Research Forum 47th Annual Conference in Calgary will focus on sustainability in transportation. The conference will bring together leaders from the private sector, government, and academia to discuss current issues in the transportation sector, with a focus on approaches to sustainability which balance environmental, economic and social needs. The conference will be held on June 3-6, 2012 at the Roderick Mah Centre, Mount Royal University, Calgary, Canada.

The quest for sustainable approaches to transportation goes beyond traditional cost reduction strategy by taking a holistic view in which environmental, social and economic perspectives are intertwined to identify and research creative approaches. The emphasis for this conference is on forward looking, relevant and thoughtfully presented applied research and policy recommendations of interest to the private sector, academia, and all levels of government.
