I welcome you to the 12th International Conference on Mobility and Transport for Elderly and Disabled Persons 2010 (TRANSED 2010).

         Hong Kong is committed to promoting a barrier-free physical environment. TRANSED 2010 is a unique occasion for delegates from around the world to share their experiences and discuss the latest advancements and innovations in accessible transport and travel. This international event will allow us all to better understand the latest technologies and best practices and provide fresh insight into the future development of our transportation systems. Your participation will help take forward this important agenda in Asia and around the world.

         I congratulate the Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation on hosting this important event. I wish you all an inspiring conference and an enjoyable stay in Hong Kong.
