| Abstract | This is the fifth plenary symposium on public policy issues in global freight logistics conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). OECD's Trilateral Logistics Project, Trilog Project, is aimed at clarifying the public policy issues in global freight logistics and strengthening the public-private partnership in resolving freight-related problems throughout the world. On the first day of the symposium, opening addresses were presented, followed by sessions discussing the globalization of transport logistics, regional characteristics of freight logistics - government cooperation and coordination, and sectoral and industry characteristics of logistics - government support requirements. The second day sessions covered the following: improving the efficiency of intermodal transport and global logistics; financing national transport networks and links in support of global logistics; U.S. initiatives to improve system efficiency; human resource implications of changes in global logistics practices; performance measures, benchmarking, and data requirements in global logistics; and summaries and conclusions from moderators of panel presentations - recommendations for follow-up activities. |
