Our Committee members and friends have been active and tireless volunteers who have promoted research and professional interactions to stimulate the discussion of freight policy. This Committee has enjoyed keen interest from various groups in membership. The Committee maintains an ideal mix between public and private sectors as well as academic researchers.
The Committee strives to promote a more productive and in-depth discussion of public, private strategies. It requires that any member added to the Committee must be a willing and active contributor.
