advertisement
The planning committee for the 11th Joint Light Rail Transit Conference: Renewal and Growth has issued a call for paper abstracts for the event, which will be held in Los Angeles April 19-22, 2009.
Sponsored by the Transportation Research Board and American Public Transportation Association, the conference will focus on how to meet the demands of rapidly growing light-rail systems and the infrastructure renewal needs of older systems.
The committee is seeking abstracts on such topics as streetcar circulators and the “new urbanism”; light rail as a tool to improve ridership; controlling capital costs through design and delivery innovations; traffic engineering issues: improved LRT performance; energy, environment and transit; infrastructure maintenance, renewal and refurbishment; and the next-generation vehicle.
For more information, visit www.trb.org/conferences/2009/LRT. Abstracts must be submitted by May 9.
