Continuing its long tradition of facilitating knowledge exchange across the transportation community, Volpe has designed a new colloquia series on "Transportation Challenges and Opportunities" that brings together thought leaders and experts from government, academia, and the private sectors to tackle emerging transportation issues and discuss fresh approaches to addressing these issues.

The series supports effective policy decisions by focusing on the core issues that underlie today's most pressing transportation challenges. The series is available via webinar and members of the transportation community are encouraged to participate in question-and-answer periods.

Please note: The views of participants do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
