Talking Freight Seminar on March 19, 2014: Innovative Low Cost Freight Transportation Collaborations - Public and Private Partnership Opportunities
Posted: 3/11/2014

In recent years, both private sector freight shippers and carriers and public sector transportation agencies have worked to identify ways to increase the efficiency of the transportation system and more specifically freight movements. To achieve these increased efficiencies, both private and public organizations have entered into partnerships, including public-private, private-private, and public-public partnerships, that allow all participants to gain greater benefits than they would individually on their own. Many of these partnerships were formed to address high-cost needs. However, there are also opportunities for organizations to work together via low-cost solutions that still provide significant, mutual benefits. This webinar will provide examples of innovative low-cost solutions that benefitted the participants. These solutions also provided direct or indirect economic benefits to their impacted regions. The webinar participants will discuss some of the planning that occurred to allow the innovative low-cost solutions to be put into place.
