National Urban Freight Conference (NUFC) A
conference to examine the impacts of goods
movement and international trade in metropolitan areas at the Westin

of goods movement and offers opportunities for understanding how growing
freight volumes affect metropolitan areas, and how freight flows can
be better managed.

impact analysis, economic analysis, and roles of politics and institutions.

Faster Freight – Cleaner Air (FFCA): A summit
on North American Goods Movement and Air Quality at the Long Beach

policies and technologies now being implemented in ports in Southern
California and across the nation to improve efficiency and reduce
the air quality impacts of the goods movement industry. The
goal of FFCA 2006 is to spur the widespread adoption of these innovative
practices and low-emission technologies by networking stakeholders
