The 21st TAP conference will take place in Lyon (France) with the aim of bringing together scientists, international experts, users and decision makers to share their contributions on the current scientific knowledge of air pollution due to emissions from transport systems. Public authorities and state or local government agencies with jurisdiction over transport or air quality, community groups, operators, commercial carriers, nonprofit and other business entities are invited to participate and are welcome.
Transport sectors play a strategic and major role in the global market and fast changing economic and societal frame. Technologies, policies and citizen behaviors must be continually adapted towards the reduction of fossil energy and the increasing demand for mobility etc.
