APTA

Axel Kuehn has been invited three times by APTA to share the European shared track experience with the US-colleagues.

2001 was a special event as the visit to APTA's annual meeting in Philadelphia took place just a few weeks after the sad events on September 11! Axel Kuehn actually made his bookings for a New York hotel for some extended days after the APTA meeting a few minutes before computer systems in New York stopped working …

A big US group, which had intended to participate in the Karlsruhe PROSPER congress had to cancel their flights and so Axel Kuehn took over the mission and handed over a solidarity note of the PROSPER participants to the APTA president during the annual conference.

The latest visit was scheduled during 2005 for the Pittsburgh Rail Transit Conference.
