Ideas/Plans for Annual Meeting Cross-Cutting Sessions need to happen NOW!!!!

by Catherine T Lawson

ABJ30 Members and Friends, Tom Palmerlee would like us to work on developing ideas for Cross-Cutting Sessions (due by the end of May) - and send them to him to move forward - I would like to invite all of you to respond to the listserv or individually with ideas - or if you know of another Group looking for partners to push on a topic or issue. We need your help!!!!! THANKS!! Proposals for Annual Meeting Cross-Cutting Sessions Proposals for TRB Annual Meeting sessions that cut across more than one Group are due by May 29. Each proposal should include a session title, brief description of the session, who will organize the session, the lead Group, and partner Group(s). Sessions selected by TAC in June will not count against any committee's allotment. The key requirement is more than one TRB group participating. It may also be useful to address one of the Technical Activities Council (TAC) critical and cross-cutting issues. They are * Capacity (or congestion) of the transportation system: what does the future hold? * Getting rid of the seams (integrating modes and institutions for a more seamless transportation system) * Matching transportation systems to the communities they serve (context sensitivity, land use/sprawl, demographics, environmental justice, economic impacts, etc.) * The growing shortage of transportation personnel: outlook, implications, experiences, and actions * Making transportation investment decisions - art or science? * Transportation, energy, and climate change * Balancing environmental and transportation goals * Moving the goods: giving freight the attention it deserves * Show me the money: meeting the long term funding needs for transportation * Safety: future options that could make a real difference * Security: where do we go from here? * Renewing the aging transportation infrastructure See the 2006 POG issues at http://www.trb.org/Committees/AB000/IssueDesc2006.pdf.
