Hi –The TRB annual meetings will be held in Washington DC from January 13-17, 2019 at the Convention Center and Marriott Marquis.  All activities are on-site (there is not a remote attendance option).

ABJ30 will meet on Tuesday morning (Jan 15) from 8 am to noon.  A draft agenda is attached. 

For a complete list of committee activities, please visit our website:  http://www.trburbandata.org/

For those of you traveling to DC the weekend of January 12-13, please note the following travel advisory:

As some of you are aware, the DC Metro system has been undergoing major renovations.  Just in the last day or two, they announced that the Yellow and Blue lines will be completely shut down on the weekend of January 12-13, 2019 between the Reagan National Airport and Pentagon stations.  This means that there will be NO Metro service to get you from Reagan National to the Annual Meeting on the weekend that the meeting begins.  Bus service will be available from the airport to stations that are in service, but this bus service is notoriously crowded and unreliable.  Also please note that the last time service to the airport was shut down, there was major traffic gridlock in and around the airport.  You can monitor the situation on the WMATA website at www.wmata.com .  The trackwork schedule can be found at https://www.wmata.com/service/track-work.cfm . 

Best wishes for a happy holiday season and hope to see you at TRB in a few weeks-

Stacey
