- David Thompson, Roads & Traffic Authority, Sydney, Australia April 2000


"I very much enjoyed attending and presenting at the March Road Pricing Agenda Seminar. The meeting was big enough for a variety of views to be expressed but small enough for a more friendly and intimate atmosphere and the chance to talk to more delegates than is possible at, say, TRB. The choice of speaker was good; location and logisitics were also very well done - in short I was able both to work and to enjoy myself."

- Eric Sampson, Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions, London, United Kingdom May 2000


"I have been to a few conferences on road pricing and this one was unique in that it combined the economic and the technological sides of the issue. I learned a lot from the conference and had an enjoyable time".
- Dr Mark Harvey, Bureau of Transport Economics, Canberra, Austalia, May 2000
