Call For Papers - Transport Chicago 2007

Transport Chicago

We seek papers dealing with all aspects of transportation, including planning, public transit, freight, air, rail, and bicycle and pedestrian transportation.

Previous year’s topics submitted include:
• Facility Design
• Transportation Funding
• Economic Analysis
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Issues
• Market Research
• Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)
• Transit Signal Priority (TSP)
• "Smart" Bus Technology (AVL, APC)
• Community Circulators and Other Non-Traditional Modes
• Transit Oriented Development (TOD) or Sustainable Development
Papers chosen for presentation will be published on CD-ROM for conference attendees in addition to the option of being published on Transport Chicago’s website. Paper presentation will occur in one of two separate forums: oral presentation before an audience or display at a “poster session.” While the committee requests that each author indicate a preference, the committee retains final decision-making authority on forum assignment. Student papers are encouraged and will be eligible for prizes on day of conference.
