The 2014 PacTrans Regional Transportation Conference brings together the Pacific Northwest\u2019s transportation community to network and share current research results for technology transfer and ideas for future collaboration. This year\u2019s conference focuses on transportation safety; we will discuss research needs and developments in designing safe infrastructure, safe operations, and safe users. Showcasing research products completed in the 2013-2014 academic year and initiating possible technology transfer processes are important objectives of this conference. We\u2019ll also focus on workforce development and education and how PacTrans is involved in training and identifying the transportation industry\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n
The conference will start with a plenary session featuring public and private sector views of the state of transportation safety. A lunchtime poster session will include a presentation of current PacTrans research. Afternoon sessions will focus on the changing educational needs of the transportation workforce and the secrets for moving research into practice, and we\u2019ll conclude the day with a discussion of PacTrans\u2019 future directions. All conference attendees will have a chance to participate.<\/p>\n
