Freight Academy Targets Transportation Professionals

The I-95 Corridor Coalition, through its intermodal Program Track Committee, is sponsoring a Freight Academy to train public-sector transportation professionals whose work in planning, operations, or management has an impact on decisions, investments, and interactions related to the movement of goods. Designed as an immersion program, the first Freight Academy will be held October 25 through October 31, 2008, at the Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Instructors will represent both the public and private sectors, and the curriculum will be structured so that the Freight Academy can be held in any state of the I-95 Corridor Coalition region.
