Good Afternoon,
You may have seen the calendar listing that TRB will be hosting a Virtual
Careers in Motion Networking Fair
<https://app.brazenconnect.com/a/trb/e/8PWqE> next Thursday, February 17,
2022 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (EST). All jobseekers who create an
account are welcome to attend the event, whether they are recent graduates,
seasoned executives, or at any other career level. With nearly 100
jobseekers currently registered, the virtual environment provides space to
accommodate many more. To garner additional interest and participation
(particularly from young transportation professionals), we will be rolling
out an exciting initiative called the* 4-Week TRB Emerging Transportation
Leaders Networking Challenge* starting next Monday on 2/14/22. I hope you
will help spread the news!
The 4-Week Challenge is ideal for professionals who are 35 and under, and
looking to expand their network through engagement with the broader TRB
community. This Challenge is designed to give future leaders in
transportation a social and professional development boost early in the
year, through different focused activities each week. The first week of the
Challenge kicks off with the virtual Career Fair! We will enter
participants who complete the final Challenge questionnaire into a drawing
to win a free year of TRB webinars.
The landing webpage for the Challenge is the same as the calendar event
page for the Virtual Career Fair. The link will include details about the
networking Challenge slated to begin Monday, February 14, 2022, and end on
Friday, March 11, 2022:

As the Challenge progresses, we hope to see increased engagement with our
committees and with other resources, including TRB’s Critical Issues in
Transportation. Please feel free to send me any feedback or reflections
about the Challenge over the next several weeks.
I also want to shout out the TRB Communications Team who has provided
amazing creative insight and strategic support.
Regards, Patrice

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well and recovered from TRB. We have set a
date/time for the supplemental virtual Urban Data committee meeting on Feb
4 from 3-4 PM Eastern. Committee members should have received a calendar
invitation. For everyone else, the Zoom login information is included in
the attached agenda. FHWA has also provided a summary of relevant research
activities, which is also attached.
This meeting will be a refocused and streamlined version of what we did in
person at the Annual Meeting. The main objectives will be to discuss
several items where I would like input from the entire committee (TSP,
research needs, equity working group) and to hear updates from people who
were unable to be in Washington, DC. I hope many of you will be able to
join us!
Mike
