摘要

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), in conjunction with the U.S. Embassy, the Russian Ministry of Transportation, the City of Moscow, and the Ministry of Transport of the Moscow Oblast (Regional) Government, hosted a bilateral conference to discuss the effective implementation of public transit systems. The conference was convened in Moscow from May 28-29, 2007 to provide a forum through which the relevant government officials of Russia and the United States, as well as representatives of the public and private sectors of the public transit industry, could hold in-depth discussions on the four identified conference themes: (1) Transit Planning and Congestion Management; (2) Ensuring Safety and Security on Public Transit Systems; (3) Providing Accessible Public Transit to the Mobility Impaired; and (4) Training Public Transit Professionals. This report has been produced to document the material presented at the conference, to provide a synthesis of the conference findings, and to define the action items to be pursued in further collaborative efforts between the Russian Federation and the United States.
