Many of the goods imported into the U.S. rely on intricate, finely-tuned, international supply chains. When the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on international supply networks that caused shortages, price increases, and instilled plenty of worry in consumers, it also set in motion more conversation about the emerging future of supply chains. But how did we get here? In this webinar, participants will learn more about the past, present, and future of supply chains and freight systems, including how supply chains have changed over time, evolving types of freight providers, autonomous freight advancements, and public policy changes. The presentation, which is also the TRB 2022 Deen Lecture, will be led by Anne Strauss-Wieder and discussion will be facilitated by Lillian Borrone.

Speakers:
Anne Strauss-Wieder, Director, Freight Planning, North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority
Lillian Borrone, former Chair of Eno’s Board of Directors and former Assistant Executive Director Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
Robert Puentes, President and CEO, Eno Center for Transportation
