Hello,

 

Space is still available to register for the June 16 Talking Freight seminar on Promoting Economic Revitalization Through Enhancing Freight Transportation. Please visit http://www.ops.fhwa.dot.gov/freight/fpd/talking_freight/index.htm to register.

 

Date: June 16, 2010

Time: 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET / 10:00 – 11:30 am PT

Topic: Promoting Economic Revitalization Through Enhancing Freight Transportation

Description: Freight-related businesses provide major economic benefits to their communities, and also provide significant benefits at the state and national level. However, those economic benefits can only be fully realized when the transportation system works in an efficient manner and can adequately support freight transportation movements. As the U.S. continues its recovery from the national and worldwide economic recession and freight transportation movements increase as a result of increased manufacturing and production, it will become increasingly critical that the transportation system has the ability to operate efficiently and help sustain the economic recovery. Presenters:

·         Janet Kavinoky, U.S. Chamber of Commerce

·         David Holt, Conexus Indiana

·         Eric Madden, Pennsylvania DOT
