Transportation not only offers the physical connection among companies in the supply chain, but also the basis of competitive advantages. According to <i>The 24th Annual State of Logistics Report</i>, transportation accounts for approximately 63 percent of logistics costs and about 5 percent of US GDP. However, the economic significance of transportation in supply chain management also brings with it impacts on the environment, contributing approximately 27 percent of US total greenhouse gas emissions. Balancing the roles and impacts of transportation on logistics and supply chain management has been and will continue to be key in the global economic landscape.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The academic research in transportation is a central part of logistics and supply chain research; it also transcends several disciplines outside of the supply chain area. While all transportation research affects logistics and supply chain management in some way, there is a core body of transportation research that is of higher relevance to both areas. The <i>Transportation Journal</i> has been the leading journal of logistics and supply chain-related transportation research for over 50 years. This noteworthy milestone is being acknowledged by the publication of a special themed issue on Transportation and Supply Chain Relations.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>We are pleased to announce that the themed issued will be the Winter 2015 issue.
