The Transportation Research Board (TRB) provides leadership in transportation improvements and innovation through trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based information exchange, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation. For example, committees, researchers, and staff are currently focused on advancing resilient infrastructure, exploring transformational technology, and caring for the public’s health and safety. The TRB Annual Meeting is the largest global gathering of transportation professionals and researchers with a focus on innovative solutions for all modes of transportation.
The TRB’s 103rd Annual Meeting was held in person January 7–11, 2024 in Washington, D.C.
ATI saw an increase in accepted presentations for this year’s meeting with 47.
ATI was a bronze sponsor of this year’s meeting and researchers from the Alabama Transportation Institute had a strong presence at the 2024 conference in presentations and poster sessions.
