This first issue of Innovations for Tomorrow's Transportation is a result of research conducted for and discussed at a workshop held on January 9, 2009. The workshop included a diverse group of leaders in the transportation research field, who are listed below. Without the valuable contributions and insight of this group, this issue would not have been possible.

Workshop Participants

The workshop was facilitated by the presentation and guidance of six workshop participants, each of whom prepared one of the briefing papers included in this issue of Innovations. A brief biography for each speaker is provided below.
