Transportation Systems Resilience Video
TRB has released a video exploring a focus on Transportation Systems Resilience. The video summarizes efforts to organize experts into a new Section to disseminate research findings and identify priority research topics in the area of transportation systems and services before, during, and after periods of increased stress, service disruptions, and human need.
Additionally, the Transportation Systems Resilience Section is organizing “Resilience Day” on Monday, January 11, 2016 at the
95th TRB Annual Meeting. Several resilience-related events will be featured.
The Section includes standing committees on Critical Transportation Infrastructure Protection, Logistics of Disaster Response and Business Continuity, and Emergency Evacuations. Its interactions with relevant stakeholders will bridge across multiple disciplines and organizations as the “resilience” topic continues to emerge in the coming years.
