The 2007 Répertoire des Géographes Français shows 97 geographers (on a total of 2084 listed people) working in the transportation field. The Commission de Géographie des Transports meets every year in mid-September for a thematic conference: Cergy-Pontoise in 2004 (transportation nodes), Besançon in 2005 (inter-regional transportation networks), Chambéry in 2006 (tourism and transportation, co- organized with the Commission de Géographie du Tourisme). In addition, the main theme of the 2005 Festival de Géographie in Saint Dié-des-Vosges, "World in networks", allowed many transportation geographers to present their research to a wide audience reaching outside of academia.
