TRB Launches Critical Issues Website Today
The overall purpose of our transportation system is to help develop and support a thriving society. Transportation improvements can be a way to foster advances in a wide range of other areas, including the economy, climate change, safety, public health, and social equity.
Critical Issues in Transportation for 2024 and Beyond was released as a TRB report earlier this year, and today a companion website is published to highlight some of the many multi-faceted, interdependent challenges in maximizing transportation’s role in serving societal goals while minimizing its costs.
Please share the website link with your colleagues. We hope it will help engage our transportation industry as well as new audiences. It could be a particularly helpful resource in enhancing academic curricula and local, state, and federal policies.

"We Cannot Solve Today’s Challenges With Yesterday’s Thinking"
With today's release of the Critical Issues website, TRB Executive Director Victoria Sheehan (pictured) sat down with the National Academies news office for an interview.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Sheehan talks about the dedicated work performed by TRB's Executive Committee on a publication and website that will largely shape the work of TRB and hopefully that of the transportation sector and many other industries. She also tells stories about her own life journey that have led her to TRB, where she has served as ED for the past 18 months.
