Standing Committee Newsletters

In 1920 the Board established three technical committees to promote research and disseminate highway research findings. Today TRB maintains more than 200 standing committees and task forces that address all aspects and modes of transportation. More than 4,000 administrators, operators, engineers, attorneys, researchers, educators, and others concerned with transportation serve on these committees and task forces without compensation. Committee members 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. 

Some standing committees in TRB’s Technical Activities Division produce periodic newsletters for the benefit of their committee members and friends. To find a newsletter of interest to you, you can search all newsletters , or by mode and topic through the links provided below. For more information about TRB’s standing committees and task forces, visit our main standing committee and task force search page.

The opinions expressed in committee newsletters are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Transportation Research Board or the National Academies.
