By Peter Murphy

The monthly transportation seminar series, hosted by the Stephen Still Institute for Sustainable Transportation and Logistics (ISTL), has welcomed two speakers already, with two more slated for the schedule in November and December.

Subject matter experts from the transportation, sustainability, logistics and supply chain management, human factors, and related areas are invited to share their insights on both the present and future of human mobility, according to Kevin Hulme, ISTL program manager.

“We’re continuing the seminar series in the forthcoming spring 2023 semester and beyond,” Hulme says. “Our experts have discussed numerous issues related to ISTL priorities.  Mobility (of humans, goods and services) is a bi-partisan issue that impacts all human beings on this planet, and matters related to human mobility and our ‘Transportation Network of Tomorrow‘ are evolving continually  These critical themes will continue to be explored in our monthly seminars.”
