National Transportation Week is an annual event celebrating the importance of the transportation industry's contributions to the economy; serving as an opportunity for transportation professionals to gather for industry-related events, meetings and conferences addressing key issues in the air, rail, trucking, shipping and automotive fields.
First observed in Houston in 1953, nearly a decade later in 1962, President John F. Kennedy declared a permanent date that would always be the week in May which contains the third Friday, National Defense Transportation Day, with Maritime Day on the following Saturday.
National Transportation Week is May 11-17. Check below for a complete listing of this years events, including the special WWJ Newsradio 950 business breakfast: 'The Future Of Transportation In Southeast Michigan.'
