U.S. forms transport standards council
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Jan. 22, 2001) — In one of his final acts as Transportation Secretary, Rodney E. Slater announced the formation of an industry council to promote American transportation-related exports.
The Transportation Export Council will focus initially on emerging markets in Latin America, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Asia. Its goals are to promote the use of U.S. standards and technologies in international transportation projects, and encourage investment in infrastructure around the world.
The council will be composed of a broad-spectrum of U.S. transportation industry associations and societies, including the Intelligent Transportation Society of America, which lobbies for high-tech infrastructure projects.
