2012 Northwest Transportation Conference

February 7, 2012 8:00 am - February 9, 2012 5:00 pm

The Northwest Transportation Conference, formerly known as the Northwest Roads and Streets Conference, has been held approximately every two years since 1949. The conference has served as a forum for engineers, designers, builders, operators and other transportation officials from Oregon and Washington with attendance ranging from 300 to 500 participants. Conference topics have included all aspects and modes of transportation, from maintenance techniques and design standards to funding and organizational issues. The theme for 2012 is “Transportation and the Economy”. We anticipate that this theme lends itself to a wide range of pressing topics ranging from the economic value of mobility and access provided by an effective transportation system, to the impact of transportation spending as a stimulus.

Special Opportunities at the Conference include:

• Keynote presentation by Clifford Winston (Brookings Instiution)
• Luncheon presentation by Oregon DOT Historian, Robert Hadlow, "The Columbia: America's Greatest Highway"
• Highway Safety Manual Workshop featuring Dr. Karen Dixon (Oregon State University)
