[ABJ30-Friends] Urban Data Committee (AED20) Midyear Meeting + Paper Reviews

Hello TRB AED20 committee friends- Thanks to everyone who attended the AED20 Midyear meeting today. Minutes and other material will be posted to the committee website in the near future. One of the items we discussed today was preparing for Annual Meeting paper reviews. As usual, the TRB paper submission deadline is August 1, and papers should be out for review from August 15 – September 15. As a “high volume” committee (we receive more than 100 papers to review each year), your assistance in reviewing papers is a critical element since each paper needs multiple reviewers with a diversity of experience to ensure well-rounded reviews. * To help us connect reviewers with papers, please complete this very short survey by Thursday, July 29:* https://virginia.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8Ahq6XMv1QDoXBQ Our hope is to use this survey to better match papers with reviewers interested in each topic. This hopefully will make for better reviews and also be more interesting to you all. Thanks for helping with paper reviews.
