Ray LaHood, the sixteenth U.S. Secretary of Transportation, will be the featured speaker at the Wednesday, January 13, 2010, Chairman’s Luncheon at the TRB 89th Annual Meeting, January 10-14, 2010, in Washington, DC. The Chairman’s Luncheon is a premier event and the largest single gathering at the Annual Meeting, attended by leaders in the transportation field from the United States and abroad. LaHood, who previously served for 14 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, is expected to share his vision, goals, and priorities for the nation’s transportation system and his plans for implementing them.
The TRB 89th Annual Meeting, January 10-14, 2010, in Washington, DC, covers all transportation modes, with more than 3,000 presentations in nearly 600 sessions addressing topics of interest to all attendees—policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. The Annual Meeting, which draws attendees from throughout the United States and from more than 60 countries, is perhaps the single largest gathering of transportation practitioners and researchers in the world.
