The JITI Journal Volume 6 Issue 3 May 2019

Welcome

With the weather growing consistently warmer, we're happy to see all of our friends and neighbors out and about in Washington, DC. There certainly seems to be both spring in the air and a spring in our step as we move forward to brighter days ahead. With the increase in walkers, runners, cyclists, and more relishing the weather, we hope we can all safely enjoy our shared spaces.

The JITI Journal is a bimonthly publication of the Japan International Transport Institute, USA (JITI), in which JITI shares information on transportation developments in Japan and elsewhere, as well as recent JITI programs. As a supplement to our regular events, we hope that the Journal likewise serves as a resource for the transportation community.
