ICOET
2005 was successfully conducted August 29 - September 2
in San Diego, CA. The conference drew more than 390 attendees
from 15 countries and included the participation of nearly
40 students interested in exploring potential careers in
ecology and transportation!
The
steering committee extends special thanks to the conference
co-hosts, Caltrans
and UC-Davis
Road Ecology Center, for their hospitality and
assistance with the conference. And thanks especially to
the conference co-sponsors, including HDR Engineering, URS
Corporation, Sensor Technologies and Systems, Inc., Electrobraid
Fence, Inc., MRUTC Deer-Vehicle Crash Information Clearinghouse,
Jones & Stokes Environmental Consultants, and Roscoe
Steel and Culvert Company, who made possible many of the
networking events associated with the conference.
ICOET participants offered a special donation on the final
day of the conference to victims of Hurricane Katrina, which
attacked the Gulf Coast states during the week of ICOET.
CTE is forwarding the contributions to Brother's
Brother Foundation, a four-star charity based
in Pittsburgh, PA, which involves the international community
in working with and through local agencies and organizations
impacted by natural disasters to match available resources
with people's needs. Donations aid in the distribution and
provision of medical, educational, agricultural and other
resources.
The Center
for Transportation and the Environment at North
Carolina State University served as lead organizer and co-sponsor
