Transportation Research Board 2013 Executive Committee*
Transportation Research Board 2013 annual report The mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation innovation and progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisciplinary, and multimodal. The Board’s varied activities annually engage about 7,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. The program is supported by state transportation departments, federal agencies including the component administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other organizations and individuals interested in the development of transportation. The Transportation Research Board was organized in 1920 and is one of six major divisions of the National Research Council, which serves as an independent adviser to the federal government and others on scientific and technical questions of national importance. The National Research Council is jointly administered by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. National Academy of Sciences National Academy of Engineering Institute of Medicine National Research Council Dear Supporter of TRB, n January 1922, 30 transportation prac- titioners and researchers from around the country gathered for the first annual meeting of an organization that was then known as the Advisory Board on Highway IResearch and is now known as the Transporta- tion Research Board (TRB). Right from the start, the meeting was a success, immediately becom- ing the Board’s most visible activity. While TRB’s portfolio of activities is much broader now, the Annual Meeting is still TRB’s most visible activity, and it has grown from mod- est beginnings to become the world’s largest annual gathering of transportation profession- meeting is known not only for its scale but also More than 11,700 als concerned with research and innovation. -
