TRB Webinar: Expediting Future Technologies for Enhancing Transportation System Performance

TRB conducted a webinar on December 16, 2013 from 1:00 p.m.- 2:30 p.m. ET that explored a methodology that can be used to facilitate collaboration among agencies, reduce duplication of efforts, and speed adoption of useful transportation-related technologies in the industry. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
