摘要

The Transportation Research Board's (TRB) National Conference on Transportation and Environment for the 21st Century, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, July 22-26, 2000, was attended by more than 650 individuals. The Conference was developed by the joint efforts of 13 TRB committees, FHWA, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the University of Pittsburgh, and the other sponsors listed below. More than 2 years of hard work by many people went into bringing nationally acclaimed, forward-thinking transportation and environmental professionals together at the junction of Pittsburgh's Three Rivers (the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet at the point of Pittsburgh to form the headwaters of the Ohio River) to learn about and discuss the creation of innovative and imaginative practices to protect and enhance the quality of the environment. The Conference comprised plenary overview and welcome sessions Sunday afternoon, followed by four sets of six concurrent workshops starting Monday morning through Tuesday morning. A total of 24 workshops were held, covering six basic themes. In addition, 47 posters were presented during three special time periods during the conference. Conference workshop themes were: air quality and energy; communities, neighborhoods, and people; cultural resources; environmental processes; modal environmental issues; and systems preservation.
