VISION

The Van Horne Institute is recognized both within Canada and internationally as one of North America’s leading research institutes focused on transportation, supply chain and logistics, and regulatory affairs issues, as measured through its contributions to the strategic decision-making and implementation processes in the public and private sectors.

MISSION

The Institute enables leaders in transportation, supply chain, logistics, and regulated industries by developing post-secondary educational programs and contributing to public policy through education, research, and conferences.

GOALS

The transportation, supply chain, logistics, and regulated industries continue to grow worldwide as a major facilitator of international commerce and prosperity.  As the scope of the activities of transportation and logistics expands, the need for highly qualified and well-educated employees increases.  The need for research in the areas of transportation and logistics and regulation also continues to grow as the complexities of international trade accelerate.  Remaining competitive, current, and knowledgeable are three significant objectives shared by leaders in transportation and logistics.  The Van Horne Institute is poised to enable transportation and logistics companies in achieving these objectives.
