Transportation is changing … and TRB is changing with it.

*NEW* TRB Annual Meeting All Chairs Event Presentation on Committee Restructuring
As TRB prepares to begin its second century, transportation is undergoing a period of rapid and transformational, even disruptive, change. The opportunities and challenges facing transportation are made for what TRB has to offer:
- An institutional history and reputation for national service and for independent, balanced approaches to research and innovation
- A “big tent” in which everyone can come together as equals—government, industry, and university; young people starting their professional journey and the profession’s leading light’s; CEOs and technical experts
- An environment in which any and all ideas can be proposed, debated, and tested on the basis of their merit
- A dedicated body of volunteers with experience in every mode of transportation and expertise from a wide array of disciplines, bringing perspectives from across the country and around the world

TRB is positioning itself to be the premier source of ideas, knowledge, and innovations to ensure that we continue to deliver on our mission in service to the country. A key part of this effort is a review and strategic alignment of our standing technical committees. The objectives of this alignment are to:
- Refresh the TRB Technical Activities committees to better deliver transportation innovations that serve the country
- Attract the next generation of volunteers
- Foster greater collaboration across committees, building on our unique structure of multiple modes, disciplines, and sectors
- Create mechanisms to maintain a sustainable organization well into the future
