Maximising growth through transport

Wednesday 31 October 2012

Marriott Hotel, Mill Lane, Cardiff,  Wales, CF10 1EZ,

World Road Association Congress events offer excellent expert insight on a relevant issue and are fairly unique events in the annual UK transport calendar as they draw in international expertise. Feedback on past Congress events has been very positive.

The event will focus on financing transport schemes, the latest thinking in evaluation and how to make the case and insight into delivery.

Senior government officials will be in attendance and will provide introductions to the sessions on financing, making the case and on delivery.  Go to http://www.ciht.org.uk/en/wra/events/wra-2012-congress/index.cfm
