[sustran] JAPA Special Issue and APA Special Sessions

[Jonathan E. D. Richmond]

Just wanted to make sure everyone on SUSTRAN knows about the special
sessions on transportation at the upcoming APA conference in San
Francisco (and the special issue of JAPA to follow). You will note that
"transportation planning in developing countries" is one of the subject
areas, and it would be nice to see some panels in this area.
Best --Jonathan
