Improving Equity in Transportation

We asked TRB Volunteers who are members or friends of various TRB standing technical committees to tell us What can TRB and the transportation industry learn from Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (which kicked off May 1) to improve equity in transportation? Read what Rudynah Entera Capone from the Louisiana Transportation Research Center shared. Thank you, Rudynah!

Make Your Voice Heard

The "Volunteer Voices" feature in TR News, TRB's bimonthly magazine, lets your colleagues get to know you in a fun and informative way. Send your answer to this week’s question and your name, title, affiliation, affiliation city and state (even if teleworking), and the names of the TRB committees and panels you volunteer with to TRNews@nas.edu. We might feature your answer in TR News, social media, or both. This week, we're asking What is the funniest experience you’ve had at a TRB Annual Meeting?
