Current Readings in Transport Economics Vol.7, No.3, 2009 I’d like to use this editorial to encourage you to consider attending the annual forum of the Transportation Research Forum (TRF) in Washington, DC, in March 2010. The 2009 forum featured a keynote address by Daniel McFadden, 2000 Nobel Prize recipient in Economics, and conference themes included Transportation and the Environment; Ports and International Freight; Transportation Finance; Public Transportation, and Air Transportation. Next year’s TRF should be just as stimulating – I hope to meet many of you there! Chris Pringle Publisher c.pringle@elsevier.com
