Introduction

Objective:
The idea here is to see how we might create, maintain and extend a useful, we call it, "collaborative relay station" capable of serving as a handy point of contact for anyone wishing to dig into this fast-exploding topic from a broad international perspective. The core idea of the program is not to create additional content or duplicate or compete unnecessarily with other sites or program, but rather to provide a convenient gateway to the best of what is going on in the various programs and sites around the world to which we are linking here -- so that you can get to them and all they offer handily with a single click. Our goal is to extend their reach as well as to supply some freely accessible public spaces where information, documents and media can be stored and easily accessed, and where people can get together to exchange information and ideas about our topic.

Status - 11 December 2006:
This is posted here as a trial site at this point and has been rather hastily patched together in an attempt to test if something along these lines might turn out to be useful at a time when there is a real information deficit when it comes to taking wise decisions in the transport sector in the developing countries. For the time being it is not being publicly announced and is rather being shared with a select group of colleagues with strong backgrounds and quite a range of experience and points of views on these topics, from many places, North and South, but with particular expertise in matters related to transport in the developing counties.
