A compelling case remains for investing in making transportation projects more resilient in the face of increasing and intensifying storms, floods, droughts, and other natural hazards that are combining with sea-level rise, new temperature and precipitation norms, and other effects from climate change. TRB’s Special Report 340: Investing in Transportation Resilience: A Framework... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182403.aspx d9348207-a060-4ba0-b0f5-6e138faa694d Tue, 27 Jul 2021 12:00:18 GMT A five-year memorandum of understanding has been signed by Latinos In Transit (LIT) and TRB/the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

TRB’s Racial Equity Addendum to Critical Issues in Transportation  is intended to be a step in the process ... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/180948.aspx 88a12a1c-a2be-49cf-b7f1-e1a5f8e2371f Thu, 08 Jul 2021 05:19:30 GMT Transportation Research Record: The Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR) has taken a major leap in the newly released 2020 Impact Factors.
