TRANSPORTATION BEYOND THE MILLENNIUM: SEARCHING FOR THE REAL ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS

This "International Road Note" gives a brief overview of the 1997 British National Congress and Exhibition that was held on November 5-7. The theme was the same as the title of this Road Note. World Road Association (PIARC) Committees met in conjunction with the Congress. The spirit of the 1997 British National Congress and PIARC was evident as participants gathered to hear representatives from the U.K., South Africa, Malaysia, Australia, and the U.S. debate "Congestion is inevitable and we have to plan for it." The U.S. delegation was headed by Gloria Jeff, the newly appointed Federal Highway Administration Deputy Administrator. Included in this Road Note are brief summaries of the activities of the following PIARC Committees whose chairmen or members are U.S. Federal and State transportation officials: C3 - Technology Exchanges and Development; C4 - Roads, Transport and Regional Development; C5 - Road Tunnels; C6 - Road Management; C9 - Financing and Economic Evaluation; and C15 - Performance of Road Administrations.
