A special Talking Freight Seminar on MAP-21 Freight Provisions will be held on August 23, 2012 from 1:00 – 2:30 pm EDT.

Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) authorizes the nation's transportation programs for two years. MAP-21 includes a number of freight provisions that address the need to improve goods movement. This session will highlight the sections of MAP-21 which have direct or indirect impacts for freight, including the National Freight Policy.

These monthly seminars, sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration, are held via web conference, which means that you view the PowerPoint presentations over the Internet while listening to the presenters over your computer or the telephone. There is no cost involved and you do not have to leave your desk to participate.
