*Subject:* Announcing TRB's first 4-Week Networking Challenge for young
professionals
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:
https://www.nationalacademies.org/event/12-08-2021/trb-virtual-careers-in-m…
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.

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

Hello AED20 members and friends,
The AED20 main committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, January 11 from
1:30-3:30 PM in the Marriott Independence Salon ABC. Unfortunately, there
will be no dial in option, but we will be sure to distribute minutes and
handouts electronically after the meeting to those unable to attend
in person.
I've attached a few items for your review before the meeting:
1. *Meeting agenda*. Since we are limited to 1.5 hours, the meeting
will mainly focus on core committee business this year.
2. *Draft of the AED20 Triennial Strategic Plan. * We hope to get final
comments on the plan prior to submission to the section. Please review
prior to the meeting and come ready to discuss. If you can't attend in
person, please let me know if you have any comments.
3. *Minutes/slides from the midyear meeting. * Please provide any edits
if you have any.
4. *Workshop announcement.* AED20 is sponsoring one workshop and
co-sponsoring another that are focused around big data issues in
transportation planning on Sunday, January 9. Please see the attached
workshop announcement and consider attending them if you will be at TRB on
Sunday. The focus of the morning session is on using big data to answer
planning questions at a national or state scale, and the afternoon session
is focused on equity considerations when using big data.
I hope everyone has a safe and healthy holiday season. I really hope to
see many of you at TRB in January.

Hello AED20 Members and Friends,
I hope everyone is doing well. The TRB Urban Data Committee has been busy
since the Midyear meeting, so I wanted to share some information on recent
activities as well as TRB Annual Meeting information:
- *TRB registration: *TRB Annual Meeting registration is open. You can
register and reserve housing now here:
https://www.trb.org/AnnualMeeting/Registration.aspx
- *AED20 Committee Meeting: *We have tentatively heard that our
committee will be meeting from 1:30-3:00 on Tuesday, January 11. This will
be an in-person meeting only. TRB is restricting most committee meetings
to 90 minutes due to the need to sanitize rooms between meetings, so this
will be an efficient meeting! The final program should be available in
Mid-November, so this date/time is tentative until the final program is
released.
- *TRB Sunday workshop: *AED20 is sponsoring a workshop entitled *Equity
Considerations with Big Data in an Urban and Regional Transportation
Planning Context* on Sunday January 9 from 1:30-4:30
https://annualmeeting.mytrb.org/Workshop/Details/17113 [Thanks To Vijay
Sivaraman and Leta Huntsinger for leading this workshop! Please consider
attending if you will be at TRB.]
- *AED20 webinar next week: *A working group from AED20 developed a
webinar that is being presented next week: *Designing and Implementing
Smart Cities*, October 28 1:00-2:30 Eastern
https://www.trb.org/Calendar/Blurbs/182518.aspx [Thanks to Charlotte
Frei, Angshuman Guin, Jinghua Xu, Zak Patterson, and Robert Kluger for
organizing! Please consider attending, but note that there may be a fee
depending on whether your employer is a TRB sponsor]
- *NCHRP Statement: *Also, we have an NCHRP statement that has been
submitted for funding consideration entitled *Assessing Big Data Privacy
and Utility Trade-offs for Transportation Agencies*. [Thanks to Zak
Patterson, Vince Bernardin, Bilal Farooq, Samiul Hasan, Godwin Badu-Marfo,
and Kara Selke for all of their hard work getting this ready.]
TRB relies on volunteers to make the program run, so I do want to
acknowledge all the hard work that many of you have put into the committee
over the last year. I hope that I will see many of you in person this
January.
Mike

Hello friends of AED20,
I hope everyone is doing well. The TRB Urban Data Committee midyear
meeting is scheduled for June 29 from 2-4 PM Eastern. I have attached the
agenda and some materials for you to review before our June 29 Midyear
meeting. Some specific items to note are:
- The midyear meeting will be virtual via Zoom. The attached agenda has
the login in information.
- I have attached the draft minutes from the January Annual meeting.
Please review this and provide any comments to Pavithra before the midyear
meeting (pparthasarathi(a)hrtpo.org).
- *IMPORTANT:* One of the focus items for the midyear meeting will be
to discuss the update to our committee Triennial Strategic Plan. Jim,
Jinghua, Leta, and Karen have all worked hard to develop an initial draft,
which is attached. We hope to have a good discussion of the TSP during the
midyear meeting.
I look forward to seeing everyone virtually in a couple of weeks!
Thanks,
Mike
