Commission on Transportation Looking for New Ideas !

In August, a questionnaire was sent out to the network of the Commission on Transportation and all contact persons within UBC. The aim was to get an insight in what, within the transport field, people in the member cities find interesting and would like the commission to focus on. The network depends on the activity of the members and needs input to make interesting workshops, seminars etc. A number of suggestions were lined up for people to choose between, such as: Public Transport, Accessibility, Environmental issues, Harbours and shipping, parking and many more. Several members have taken the opportunity to communicate their opinion, which the commission appreciates.

In the questionnaire there was also a question about forming a working group as a support to the Commission on Transportation. The suggestion originated from the participants at the Annual meeting in April. Those who are interested in participating in such a group could indicate it in the questionnaire.

The next meeting for the Commission will be in Klaipeda the 18th of October. The topics will be, among other things, the results of the questionnaire and the future working group. There will also be discussions about the next Annual meeting and seminar that will take place during spring 2004. The Commission is at the moment working with the location for this meeting, which will hopefully be Lithuania. The focus of the seminar will also be discussed in Klaipeda.
