But in the 20 years since 9/11, natural disasters, technology changes, and pandemics have presented new challenges. In TR News 335: September–October 2021 authors address these challenges, as well as how transportation agencies can incorporate resilience to respond quickly and effectively to an ... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182646.aspx 453b4911-79af-4dac-ad5d-f2c307d427f1 Mon, 03 Jan 2022 20:00:37 GMT The 2021 Annual Report summarizes TRB’s accomplishments in each of its major program areas and how TRB has served the nation and the global transportation professional community throughout the year. TRB provides leadership in transportation improvements and innovation through trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based information exchange, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation.

TRB Special Report 343: Strengthening U.S. Coast Guard Oversight and Support of Recognized Organizations: The Case of the Alternate Compliance Program recommends a series of steps the Coast Guard should take ... http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/182564.aspx 0823393f-0407-4445-92c8-ad5b532eb43e Tue, 05 Oct 2021 12:54:44 GMT Please find this information on our new website at https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/11-09-2021/trb-webinar-progress-toward-more-resilient-pavements . 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.

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.
