For its 55^th annual conference, CTRF seeks to maintain its pre-eminent reputation for open dialogue, stimulating debate and forward looking considerations of transportation research relevant to the theme “Planning in Times of Unprecedented Change and Uncertainty.” As such, the conference will be of interest to Canadian and international transportation policymakers, infrastructure and service providers, transportation users and other stakeholders, researchers in academia and organizations, and the trade press, all within a lively forum that has become a tradition in Canada.

Many of the challenges facing public and private decision makers are different from those confronted in the past. Are the past assumptions and historical patterns that underlie decision making still relevant? Are rapid change and uncertainty themselves the new hallmark of the transportation environment? How do the capabilities required to deal with these challenges differ from the past? What does this new environment imply about the analytical tools, methods and data that are required as we go forward?
