More recently, however, surveys are being used to measure satisfaction as a way to identify actions that could improve the customer experience and increase non-aeronautical revenues, particularly those from passenger terminal concessions. The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's ACRP Research Report 235: Guidebook for Conducting Airport User Surveys and Other Customer Research provides airport managers a... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182590.aspx 7a68daaa-9bae-482f-bfee-c42bd0509374 Fri, 29 Oct 2021 11:17:01 GMT Please find this information on our new website at https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/12-15-2021/trb-webinar-the-mighty-river-inland-waterway-resilience-analysis . http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182560.aspx 2fc7b289-7c74-483c-b98c-caa494061a59 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 10:30:06 GMT Please find this information on our new website at https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/11-03-2021/trb-webinar-navigating-the-supply-chain-congestion-crisis . http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182066.aspx c656c4dd-a1b5-46f3-a286-5dd323d1e26b Fri, 24 Sep 2021 12:00:36 GMT Although the need for a more effective set of short- and long-term transportation resilience strategies is increasingly obvious and urgent, many knowledge gaps and institutional barriers still exist. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 975: Transportation System Resilience: Research Roadmap and White Papers highlights significant knowledge gaps within AASHTO and state departments of transportation, presents a 5-year research plan that addresses these gaps, and di... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182540.aspx 58d3b8aa-447f-483a-839c-e4ad0372fbce Wed, 22 Sep 2021 19:01:21 GMT Please find this information on our new website at https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/10-19-2021/trb-webinar-transportation-resilience-metrics . http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182510.aspx 0c37a1bb-e77f-4331-9906-482821a0ece1 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 15:00:02 GMT There appear to be, in this preliminary assessment, no formidable issues that present design and engineering challenges for installing in-cabin wheelchair securement systems in airplanes. While equipping enough airplanes with securement systems to provide meaningful levels of airline service would require substantial effort, the types of cabin modifications required to provide the needed space and structural support would likely be of moderate technical complexity for many individual airplanes. TRB’s Spe... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182512.aspx a553c3f7-dfc2-4100-8914-17f106c85b91 Wed, 08 Sep 2021 05:48:05 GMT Shawn Wilson, Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, discusses how his state is handling the effects of climate change and building more resilience.
