What are your goals for this event?
Our goals for the event include:
* to report on the findings of our research work on the Canada-United States Cargo Security Project (CUSCSP) to date, including the results of the trans-Atlantic cargo tests;
* to report on the findings of a simultaneous research project conducted by Transport Canada, that focuses on the evaluation of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) container tracking technology;
* to provide a forum for the sharing of ideas between the region's public and private sector leaders on how to improve supply chain security and the resiliency of the transportation infrastructure, particularly as it relates to commerce between the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada; and
* to provide a forum for the sharing of ideas concerning future technologies for supply chain security.
