| Abstract | On June 24 and 25, 1999, Secretary of Transportation Rodney Slater brought together nearly 400 leaders from the transportation and technology communities to explore these questions at The Spirit of Innovation in Transportation conference at the Department's Volpe Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The conference had three overriding objectives: 1)Identify how we can use technology to meet our transportation challenges. 2) Initiate a strategy and framework for innovation that moves technology forward from ideas to implementation. 3) Begin to create a climate for innovation that speeds the absorption of new technologies as we enter the next century. |
