On September 10-11, 2004, the GOing Conference will address the urgent need for better and more diverse transportation systems to benefit the environment and community. Going will explore new surface transportation options and the behavioral changes needed to realize them.
"There couldn't be a more important time for this event," GOing Conference host and transportation designer, Dan Sturges states. "In just ten years the number of miles Americans are driving has risen 50%. We have gas prices at record highs, oil fast approaching $50 a barrel-up from an already steep $33 in March-and a difficult war in the Mid-East, a region we are utterly dependent upon for that commodity."
"At GOing, we'll drill for the real answers, discovering the newest alternatives and solutions from innovators in transportation, urban planning, policy making and government and tele-communications."
"We'll learn about car sharing, electric bikes, Segways, neighborhood electric vehicles, e-delivery, telecommunications, transit-oriented development, enhanced pedestrian models and dynamic ride sharing. All of these represent a lot of creative thinking about how to get around and save energy at the same time," notes Sturges. "It's time to pull all this wisdom together and find some solutions-because our current systems just don't work anymore."
