PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE MARINE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM: WATERWAYS, PORTS AND THEIR INTERMODAL CONNECTIONS, AIRLIE CENTER, WARRENTON, VIRGINIA, NOVEMBER 17-19, 1998

The National Conference on the Marine Transportation System was hosted by Secretary of Transportation Slater on November 17-19, 1998 at the Airlie Center in Warrenton, Virginia. After a series of keynote and background resource speakers, the conference participants worked alternately in issue breakout groups and plenary sessions. In the plenary sessions, the conference participants addressed two overarching issues: a shared national vision for the Marine Transportation System (MTS) and public private coordination of MTS activities. There were five breakout groups that used various facilitated approaches to identify the issues, create goals and develop recommendations to achieve these goals in the areas of safety, competitiveness, infrastructure, environment and security. On the final day of the conference, a stakeholder spokesman from each issue group presented the recommended actions and goals to a leadership report-out panel.
