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 104th Annual Meeting will be held in person January 5–9, 2025 in Washington, D.C.
ATI is a silver patron of this year’s meeting and researchers from the Alabama Transportation Institute will have a strong presence at the 2025 conference in presentations and poster sessions.
