Dr Bill Waters , Professor Emeritus (In Memoriam)
 
It is my very sad duty to report that our great friend and former colleague, Professor Emeritus Bill Waters, passed away November 25th, 2010. Bill died peacefully in his study. Bill joined the Faculty of Commerce and Business Administration (now the Sauder School of Business) in 1969. He was an extremely accomplished transportation economist who was widely published and frequently consulted by governments on matters related to transportation policy.  At Sauder, he was the Director of the Centre for Transportation Studies from January 1998 to December 2000 and from July 2002 to June 2003. Our thoughts are with his wife and family to whom we send our sincere condolences.  Please note that arrangements are being made for a memorial service. We will let you know the details when we receive them.

The Transportation and Logistics (TLOG) Faculty

Research and publications by faculty rank among the best in the world. Faculty pursue rigorous and empirically-based research with close contact with both industry and public policy decision makers. Research and its dissemination is contributed to academic and management conferences. Faculty are on the editorial boards of leading transportation and logistics journals. Faculty are active participants in public policy development processes in Canada as well as in other countries and are often interviewed by the news media.

In 1999, Tae Oum became Editor of the Journal of Transport Economics and Policy from the London School of Economics.

In 2000-2001, Bill Waters was a member of the Canada Transportation Act Review panel, responsible for reviewing the regulatory and public policy directions of Canada's transportation system.

Full time faculty members in the TLOG program include: Garland Chow, David Gillen, Tae Hoon Oum, and Anming Zhang. In addition, Bill Waters and Trevor Heaver have retired but are still playing an active role in the TLOG program and CTS research activities. Michael Tretheway is an Adjunct Associate Professor and part-time lecturer. Chunyan Yu is a sessional instructor. Their collective interests cover each mode of transportation as well as logistics management. Their interests also extend to related areas including telecommunications and the application of social cost-benefit analysis and related decision methods. Several other members of the Sauder School of Business have overlapping interests in aspects of transportation and logistics. In addition to regular faculty members, there are visiting faculty from prominent universities around the world.
