IRU: “Road transport: moving people, driving economies”
The International Road Transport Union (IRU), in partnership with IRU Associate Member, Rosgosstrakh, the CIS Coordinating Transport Conference and the National Taxi Council, today organised the 9th IRU International Road Transport Conference on the theme “<a href="http://mailstore.travellermagazin.ro/cgi-bin/sqwebmail?timestamp=1365259444&amp;md5=PK5Km0zxj7T%2F6oJOIRmMHg%3D%3D&amp;redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iru.org%2Fen_moscow_2013_conference" target="_blank">Road transport: moving people, driving economies</a>”. Some 200 delegates from CIS countries and the EU discussed how to promote collective passenger road transport by bus, coach and taxi to ensure sustainable mobility across Eurasia through the safest, greenest and most flexible transport services they offer at the lowest cost to society. Opening the Conference, IRU Secretary General, Martin Marmy, stressed, “The IRU launched the Smart Move campaign in 2009 and it has gained incredible momentum, turning into a major international movement and ultimately becoming a new policy instrument in the EU. If such a successful development was possible, it is exactly what we should expect to achieve together in Eurasia. A similar objective can also be pursued with the IRU initiative “Taxi - Anytime, Anywhere!” to place taxis on top of the political agenda, as the benefits provided by taxis have mostly been forgotten despite their tremendous unused potential to contribute to the improved effectiveness of a high quality public transport chain”.</p>
