The Passing of Former Senior Program Officer Elaine King
The TRB community was saddened last week upon learning of the passing of former staff member Elaine King. She retired from TRB in 2010, her twenty-fifth year of service as a trailblazer and mentor. The first female senior program officer in the history of TRB, she provided staff support to committees in the Rail and Freight Systems Groups. She also participated in numerous policy studies and Cooperative Research Program projects. Prior to her work at TRB, Elaine worked at the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation where she was instrumental in the creation of their Rail Freight Program. She was a widely known and highly respected member of the transportation community and will be greatly missed by all of us at TRB. A memorial in conjunction with the 2015 TRB Annual Meeting is now being planned.
