ABOUT THE THE SYMPOSIUM
Organised every three years by the Joint Transport Research Centre of the OECD and the International Transport Forum, the Symposium aims to stimulate thinking on transport economics of direct relevance to transport policymaking.
The Madrid Symposium will focus on the development of interurban passenger transport, and will be organised around a series of debates on presentations from leading transport economists on the following themes:
- Future trends in inter-urban passenger transport and the prospects for aviation and surface transport demand.
- Adapting networks to the passenger transport market and long-term planning and assessment of high speed rail, maglev and other major infrastructure projects.
- Competition and regulation of interurban travel and the impact of liberalising inter-city rail markets.
- Transport system interactions and innovation - managing traffic on congested infrastructure and providing integrated interurban transport services and better access to major terminals.
- Sustainability – examining the cost-effectiveness of trading systems to manage greenhouse gas emissions from aviation and the potential and limits of strategic environmental assessment for managing the environmental impacts of transport.
