Sept. 7, Beyond Oil: Transforming Transportation in Century 21

This full day conference and summit on September 7, 2012 is part of Seattle’s Next Fifty celebration that will look to the future of transportation with a conference focusing on the market and technological transformations that will move us beyond oil. Speakers and exhibits will discuss how advances in batteries, information technology, communications, lightweight materials, and electric vehicles are enabling safer, faster, more affordable, and greener transportation.

What can and should be done to help ensure that the Pacific Northwest continues to be a world leader in transportation and communications for years to come? What policies should be considered to encourage investment in these transitions?  What regulatory and other barriers need to be addressed? Through speakers, demonstrations, and exhibits we will illustrate how the convergence of advances in information technology, communications, lightweight materials, smart grid technologies, aviation biofuels and electric vehicles are enabling the transformation of transportation—making it safer, faster, more affordable and greener.
