Welcome
Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of Direction 2006, the local and international planning committees, you are invited to the 9th International Level Crossing Safety and Trespass Prevention Symposium in Montréal, Canada September 10-14, 2006..
Our theme for the Symposium is "Partners in Safety".
The Symposium will provide an interesting and motivational look at advances in highway/railway crossing technology and operations. Its goal is to exchange ideas, network with your peers, and showcase the newest and best safety-related developments from around the world.
We will present a varied program and experts who will share their ideas on key issues and technical developments, human behaviour, suicide prevention, law enforcement, education methods and techniques all related to crossing safety and trespass reduction. Symposium attendees will include an international mix of leaders from railroad companies, suppliers, manufacturers, government departments and agencies, and research organizations. At the end of the Symposium, you will have tools, methods and solutions that you and your colleagues will be able to implement or introduce. The Symposium will offer its participants increased skills and novel approaches to issues.
Montréal is one of North America's most unique city… blending new world urbanity with old world charm.
