The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is a division 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 ad- ministered by the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The mission of the Transportation Research Board- one of six major divisions of the National Research Council- is to promote innovation and progress in transportation through research. In an objective and interdisciplinary setting, the Board facilitates the sharing of information on transportation practice and policy by researchers and practitioners; stimulates research and offers research management services that promote technical excellence; provides expert ad- vice on transportation policy and programs; and disseminates research results broadly and encourages their implementation. TRB fulfills this mission through the work of its standing committees and task forces address- ing the modes and aspects of transportation; publication and dissemination of reports and peer-reviewed technical papers on research findings; management of cooperative research and other research programs; conduct of special studies on transportation policy issues at the request of the U.S. Congress and government agencies; operation of an on-line computerized file of transportation research information; and the hosting of an annual meeting that typically attracts 10,000 transportation professionals from throughout the United States and abroad. The Board’s activities are organized as: • Technical Activities Division o Marine Board • Studies and special Programs Division • Administration and Finance Division • Cooperative research Programs Division • Strategic Highway Research Programs (SHRP) II TRB’s varied activities annually draw on more than 5,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and acade- mia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest by participating on TRB com- mittees, panels m and task forces. The program is supported by state transportation depart- ments, the various administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation and other federal agencies, industry associations, and other organizations and individuals interested in the de- velopment of transportation.
