Hello AED20 Members and Friends,
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. TRB has released the
committee meeting schedule for the 2021 Annual Meeting. Here's the
committee meeting schedule for the Urban Data committee and our
subcommittees:
- *Urban Data and Information Systems Committee (AED20):* 1/6/21,
2:00-5:00 PM Eastern
- *Census for Transportation Planning Subcommittee (AED20(1)): *1/8/21,
2:00-3:30 Eastern
- *Urban Bug Data Subcommittee (AED20(2)):* 1/13/21: 10:00-11:30 AM
Eastern
- *Travel Time, Speed, and Reliability Subcommittee (AED20(3)): *
1/13/21: 12:00 - 1:30 PM Eastern
I hope everyone can block these times out and attend the meetings.
In order to attend the committee meetings, you will need to register for
the Annual Meeting. One benefit of the virtual annual meeting, though, is
that TRB has introduced a complementary registration category for people
that only want to attend committee meetings or exhibits and not the
technical sessions. Hopefully this provides an opportunity for a broader
audience to attend committee meetings this year, but everyone will need to
register to access the meeting. The Annual Meeting registration page is at
http://www.trb.org/AnnualMeeting/Registration.aspx. Zoom links to the
committee meetings will be available within the TRB Annual Meeting Online
program in advance of the meetings and will only be accessible to people
who have registered.
I'll be sending an agenda out as we get closer to the meeting date.
The committee and our subcommittees also have several virtual poster
sessions planned between January 25-28. You can access the current TRB
program at:

Please let me know if you have any questions about the virtual meeting.
This should be a learning experience for all of us!
