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:*

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.
Mike Fontaine
Chair, AED20

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
