events 101st Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board

The TRB Annual Meeting is the largest global gathering of transportation professionals and researchers with a focus on innovative solutions for all modes of transportation. ATI had incredible success at the meeting held in Washington, DC, on January 9–13, 2022.

The 2022 meeting program covered all transportation modes, with sessions and workshops addressing topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions.

A number of sessions and workshops focused on this year’s spotlight theme: Innovating an Equitable, Resilient, Sustainable, and Safe Transportation System.

ATI was a bronze sponsor and our researchers exhibited a strong presence in presentations and poster sessions. UA and ATI faculty and staff delivered 28 presentations across 21 sessions and represented a panel at a high-level workshop. In addition to the usual College of Engineering participants, we had representation from the Department of Geography and the School of Social Work.

ATI researchers also participated heavily in TRB Standing Committees. Almost all serve as a member or friend on several of the various committees.
