TRB Committees Related to Public Transportation

Standing Committees

Policy Study Committees

Standing committees identify research needs; provide information to the transportation community on research priorities and procedures; review papers for presentation at the TRB Annual Meeting and for publication; encourage the incorporation of appropriate research findings into practice; and develop special programs, conferences, and workshops. Standing committee members may serve up to three consecutive three-year terms and are considered experts in their field. Standing committees are overseen by TRB's Technical Activities Division.

Search the TRB Library for publications and projects of interest.


 

Upon request, National Research Council-appointed policy study committees provide advice to Congress, executive-branch federal agencies, the states, and other organizations on an array of complex and often controversial transportation topics of national significance. Committee members are selected to provide appropriate expertise and a balance of perspectives on the issues involved. Through such special expert committees, TRB also conducts periodic or continuing reviews of specific transportation research and technology programs. Policy study committee activities are subject to the requirements of Section 15 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act Amendments of 1997 (FACA). These committees are overseen by TRB’s Studies and Special Programs Division.
