Move Colorado Hosts 3rd Annual Symposium on Mileage Based Revenue Fees June 13-14 in Breckenridge @ the Great Divide Lodge

MOVE Colorado will serve as local host for the 3rd Annual Mileage-Based User Fee Symposium, June 13th and 14th in Breckenridge, Colorado. MOVE Colorado is committed to making the National Symposium a success - bringing new thinking and action to move transportation finance solutions forward for the nation and our states.

This national event is convened jointly by the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota. For the 2011 Symposium, the Transportation Research Board and MOVE Colorado will serve as co-hosts of the event.

This symposium will bring together professionals in the field of road user fees to advance the discussion of usage-based fee systems. Representatives from past, current and upcoming pilot studies and implementations will present lessons learned and key study topics from their projects.

Panel discussions will address specific topics such as legislative and policy issues, public acceptance challenges, potential technology applications, and institutional issues. The symposium will incorporate interactive discussion sessions on logical next steps as well as the associated challenges and opportunities. This year’s Symposium will start to focus in on the policy aspects of moving from a gas tax funded transportation system to a user fee system and all the challenges that will present.

We invite you to participate in the Symposium and help spread the word to members of your organization and others who would be interested – other coalitions and stakeholders, government, business and community leaders

In addition to the Symposium, MOVE Colorado will be hosting a special pre-conference event, at no additional cost, to attendees from Colorado including members and friends of Move Colorado. This event is scheduled for June 12th, Sunday afternoon from 2 PM to 5 PM as a pre-conference briefing and dialogue specific to Colorado’s future needs and possible approaches to identifying sustainable, predictable transportation funding.
