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 If you could go back in time, what would you change about transportation and why?


Seeking Nominations for Electric Vehicle Working Group

The Joint Office of Energy and Transportation is now accepting nominations for committee members who will make up the Federal Advisory Committee Act Electric Vehicle (EV) Working Group, which aims to make recommendations regarding EV development, adoption, and integration across the U.S. The office seeks nominations for individuals representing EV, battery, and charger manufacturers; labor organizations; public utilities and regulators; state and tribal governments; the trucking industry; and other groups. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law authorized the creation of the EV Working Group.
