ABJ30 Members and Friends, Below is our draft agenda - we will plan to keep to it as much as possible - noting some of our guests/speakers have indicated possible conflicts - For planning purposes - check our TRB website details on ABJ30 and Events Schedule for Annual Meeting http://www.trb.org/directory/comm_detail.asp?id=1141 http://www.trb.org/am/ip/assembly_search.asp?c=ABJ30&comm=Urban+Transpor tation+Data+and+Information+Systems For those of you not able to join us in Washington, D.C., (and those who will and want to get a head start on our discussions), I will be forwarding some additional listserv messages for confirmation/discussion/edits, etc.). IMPORTANT ISSUES - please let me know your response to the two issues below (either using this listserv, by emailing directly - lawsonc(a)albany.edu or contributing to our discussion at TRB Meeting) - thanks! First, we need input on the best option for a sustainable internet strategy -- as we thank Chuck Purvis, previous Committee Chair, for his generous contribution of hosting our Committee's website. Over the last 12 months, we have not been able to schedule a new host - and given the problems with keeping a website current - please consider the following options: should we use a "wiki" service (Shawn is trying this strategy with the ADUS Subcommittee)? - should we use a "free" site (e.g., Google)? - should I "lobby" TRB staff for a user-friendly single page TRB-hosted website that would provide a generalized format with information on how to participate in a dedicated wiki? -- other ideas or offers of host capability?? Second, I am hearing some concerns about travel funds for our summer meeting - should I ask TRB staff about holding a webinar as part of our Summer Events? This would allow more of our Members, Friends, and with sufficient advanced notification - our target population - transportation planners, MPOs, consultants, university faculty, and interested citizens, to participate - let me know and I will try to get confirmation that we could use webinar technologies.

SUMMER, SUNSHINE, and SEATTLE - 7/19-21, 2009 midyear?

by Catherine T Lawson

Members and Friends of AJB30, As we get ready to head for Washington, D.C. in a few weeks for the Annual Meeting - please let me know your thoughts about having our Mid-Year Meeting in Seattle from July 19th through the 21st. Tom Palmerlee is in final negotiations for the summer venues and this ones sounds really good to me (and yes, it is near blizzard conditions here in Albany, New York) - According to Tom's recent email, the summer meeting will stress time for flexible committee meetings with less emphasis on sessions. I think our Committee should take this opportunity to really get to know the urban data issues facing other Committees - and be ready to help with the data challenges ahead!! (this should help us make the case for why data programs need $$$ --after all - data is a critical component of any infrastructure spending!!!) - Thanks in advance for any input for our summer meeting - and have a wonderful Holiday! Regards, Kate --- _____________________________ Catherine T. Lawson, Ph. D.

Great idea. By then our foot of snow ought to be gone. Meanwhile, I will continue to miss DC in January (replaced by Palm Springs). Ken In a message dated 12/22/2008 11:08:45 A.M.

Preparing our Committee Annual Agenda for Publication by Friday!!!

by Catherine T Lawson

ABJ30 Members and Friends, I just received a request from Tom Palmerlee (see below) to forward him our agenda for the Annual TRB Meeting - (subcommittees - this also applies to you) - since we won't have our regular opportunity to develop the agenda at our Mid-Year in time for this request - can I get some volunteers to help with the preparation? I will plan to include the review of our Strategic Plan and special attention to the topics that we currently cover - any suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated as this description of our plans should help bring newcomers to our meeting - thanks! >From Tom Palmerlee: "I would like to post short agendas for the TRB committee and subcommittee meetings a week before the Advance Registration deadline so we can make attendees aware of these open meeting. So please send me a short version oriented to those who don't necessarily attend TRB committee meeting. Emphasize the programmatic issues to be discussed, not administrative items. If I get it by next Monday, we can post them and get an email out about week before the deadline. I will also put those agendas in the final program." Regards, Kate --- _____________________________ Catherine T. Lawson, Ph. D.

by Catherine T Lawson

ABJ30 Members and Friends, I just received another email - this one from David Floyd, referencing the deadline for registration for NATMEC - I have put in a call to Tom to clarify that what he needs RIGHT NOW is our agenda for NATMEC (but it doesn't hurt to get busy with our Annual TRB Meeting agenda as well - so any ideas for that meeting - please send them along) - meanwhile, we'll focus on the NATMEC agenda - sorry for the confusion - (my fault for jumping ahead to January!!) - thanks!
