JOIN / SUPPORT TRB
There are several ways for TRB and its constituents to develop a partnership beyond the occasional publication
purchase or meeting registration. Below are options to be involved and support TRB.
As TRB’s reach continues to grow, we are working to become more diverse in our partnerships more inclusive of
new stakeholders, and more global in our outlook. As one of six major program divisions of the National Academies
of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, our mission is to provide leadership in transportation innovation
and progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisciplinary,
and multimodal.
This innovation cannot occur without the participation of more than 7,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation
researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all who contribute their
expertise in the public interest by participating on TRB committees, panels, and task forces. Others get
involved and support TRB activities as TRB Global Affiliates, by participating in TRB sponsored conferences,
workshops and webinars, authoring technical papers, contract research reports, and much more. All of this
work culminates at our Annual Meeting each year which attracts the more than 13,000 transportation professionals
that make up the broader TRB community.
The tabs below highlight several new and exciting ways that TRB seeks to launch and support new programs and
initiatives including a revamped Global Affiliate program, webinar sponsorships, TRB Forums, and expanded
opportunities to participate in the Annual Meeting.

TRB BOARDS AND FORUMS
Marine Board
The Marine Board identifies research needs and provides a forum for exchange of information relating to new technologies, laws and regulations, economics, the environment, and other issues affecting the marine transportation system, port operations, coastal engineering, and marine governance. Formed in 1965, the Marine Board is an internationally recognized source of expertise on maritime transportation and marine engineering and technology. In response to requests from sponsoring agencies or on its own initiative, the Marine Board serves the national interest by providing evaluations and advice concerning the ability of the nation's marine and maritime industries to operate safely and efficiently and in an environmentally responsible manner.
As part of TRB, the Marine Board both enhances and is supported by TRB's standing committees, particularly those involved with ports and channels, inland water transport, planning, and the environment. The Marine Board coordinates and works closely with other boards of the National Academies in areas of mutual interest.

Forum on Preparing for Automated Vehicles and Shared Mobility
The National Academies/TRB Forum on Preparing for Automated Vehicles and Shared Mobility (Forum on AVs and Shared Mobility) was formed in 2017 to bring together public, private and research organizational partners to discuss, identify, and facilitate fact-based research needed to deploy automated vehicles and shared mobility services in a manner and timeframe that informs policy to best meet long-term goals, and to share perspectives on these issues. The long-term goals include increasing safety, reducing congestion, enhancing accessibility, increasing sustainability, and encouraging economic development and equity.

INTRODUCING THE TRB GLOBAL AFFILIATE PROGRAM
You and your organization are cordially invited to become a Global Affiliate of the Transportation
Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine and help
shape the way the world travels, ship goods, and connects.
As a TRB Global Affiliate, your organization will be supporting thousands of transportation leaders
and professionals at all levels of government, the private sector, and academia‑working together
to promote progress in transportation through innovation and research.
Global Affiliate organizations also receive a selection of TRB services and products at a discount.
These include opportunities for participation in selected programs, access to knowledge,
and exposure for your organization. You can select those that best match the specific interests
and needs of your organization.
Through the research that it conducts, TRB develops major improvements in transportation
technology and services, along with its publications and online resources, which provide valuable
information regarding virtually any issue related to transportation. Through its
convening activities, TRB brings together the brightest minds to discuss and
develop solutions to problems and issues facing transportation professionals. Through its
advising role, TRB develops policy studies that tackle complex and often controversial
issues of national significance.
Help support the mission of TRB to provide innovation and progress in transportation through research
by becoming a Global Affiliate of TRB. For additional information, contact Patrice Davenport
(
pdavenport@nas.edu; 202-334-2516.)
There are six different levels of Affiliate support that organizations can provide to TRB. Organizations
can select a package of benefits commensurate with their level of desired support and the benefits
they value most. The Global Affiliate Benefits Chart lists the benefits that can be
selected at the six different levels of support. All benefits included at a particular level
of support are shown with a check mark (which means the benefit is part of the package) or a
percentage discount (which conveys a benefit discount at that level of support).[1]
