Freight Planning in an Uncertain World
This year's symposium will address the impacts of rapid change on freight movements in the Midwest. Representatives from the business community, academia, and the public sector will participate in panels discussing current freight challenges and public policy alternatives in response to rapid change. Topics will include ethanol transportation requirements, the shift from imports to exports, competition for containers, truck-weight impacts on roads, intermodal needs, the special needs of medium-sized manufacturers, and emerging industries. Richard Stewart, director of the Transportation and Logistics Research Center, University of Wisconsin-Superior, will make the keynote presentation, focusing on the rapid economic change across the Midwest.
