Call for Papers & Abstract Instructions

The National AITPM Conference 2003 is designed to provide a forum for practitioners in policy development and applications to address the important issues of putting transport/land use integration policy into practice.  The framework is contained within two themes – Setting the Scene (strategic) and  How to Do It (Practice).  We are inviting potential presenters to position their paper within one of these themes.
