Background: this Colloquium began as a modest effort to primarily bring together UCI transportation graduate students in Sarah Catz's Urban Planning class and other graduate students in the Institute of Transportation Studies, to have planners and engineers discuss the innovations in transportation the world is experiencing and to share and understand different perspectives. Given the great success of the 1st Colloquium we have been able to secure a larger venue and another outstanding panel of speakers. We are inviting all graduate students and faculty to attend, and look forward to a stimulating and wide-ranging discussion.

For catering purposes, however, we must receive your RSVP by Monday noon. So, if you are NOT an enrolled student in UPPP 212, please send your RSVP to Cam Tran in ITS: camt@uci.edu.
