August 2005
- Asilomar 2005: Toward a Policy Agenda for Climate
The Center was a sponsor of this conference to examine expanding public and private initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases from transportation. The conference focused on sub-national and private activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and how they relate to and influence national and international climate policy. The agenda was designed to engage the auto and energy industries; local, state, and national governments in the United States and in other countries; the environmental community; and researchers. The conference was hosted by the Institute of Transportation Studies of the University of California, Davis, from August 23-26 in Pacific Grove, California.
June 2005
- Freight Solutions Dialogue
DOT's Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting sponsored a two-day "Freight Solutions Dialogue" from June 6 - 7 in Washington, D.C. The workshop was organized by the Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP) and co-sponsored by the U.S. EPA. The goal of the workshop was to explore greenhouse gas emission reduction opportunities within the U.S. freight system consistent with economic, air quality, energy security, and environmental justice goals, and to explore various funding options including innovative finance strategies and public-private partnerships for project implementation. A summary of the workshop and presentations are available on the CCAP web site.
January 2003
- The Warming World: Designing for Climate Change
The Center was a sponsor of this event, which focused on the practical use of scientific findings on climate change to plan and design engineering works, particularly in the Arctic. The workshop was held on January 8 and 9, 2003, at the University of Alaska, Anchorage.
- Understanding Impacts of Climate Change on Transportation: Research Agenda
DOT and NASA jointly organized a panel discussion highlighting research needs related to the impacts of climate change on transportation. The panel was held on January 16, 2003 in Washington, D.C. at the Transportation Research Board's (TRB) 82nd Annual Meeting.

- The Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Transportation Workshop
DOT's Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and the US Global Change Research Program co-sponsored this workshop on October 1-2, 2002 to discuss the potential impacts of climate change on transportation systems and services. The DOT Center is undertaking a multi-year research program to study how short and long-term changes in climate could affect transportation, and how transportation decision-makers could address possible impacts. The workshop brought together 64 transportation and planning professionals and experts in climate change and assessment to explore these issues and provide input on the research questions that should be given top priority for investigation by the Center.
