Mike is an excellent choice. His roots in the Urban Data committee and
expertise with TRB processes and rules go very deep. When I was chair,
before Stacey and Kate, Mike helped us, and TRB out by taking on the
review coordination of a whole genre of papers that were new to the
committee and TRB. This was in the early days of ITS when travel time
monitoring systems were being developed and the data processing
algorithms were being tweaked. There was as sizeable pile of papers that
fell between a handful of committees that were not willing to take the
papers on. Mike, through the Urban Data committee took the lead,
recruited top notch reviewers and the rest is history (at least that is
how I remember it). Congratulations Mike and thanks for pulling us
through those early days.

Dear Members and Friends of ABJ30:
2020 is a year of change for the ABJ30 committee. Not only will we
have a new committee code with the TRB re-organization (see
http://www.trb.org/AboutTRB/TADStrategicAlignment.aspx) and new faces
with the upcoming rotation, more importantly, we will have a new
chair. I’m very pleased to announce that Mike Fontaine has been
confirmed as the incoming chair for our committee. He officially
begins in this role as of April 1, 2020 but has been part of the
committee leadership team for the past 6 years as both subcommittee
chair and more recently Vice Chair. I’m looking forward to the
continued growth of the committee under his leadership!
The main committee meeting is scheduled for TRB Tuesday, from 8 am to
noon in Liberty Salon L (M4), Marriott Marquis. This is an in-person
meeting only. A draft agenda is attached and we hope you’ll be able
to join us. The 2^nd page of the agenda includes a list of ABJ30
sponsored activities, so please review that as you’re planning your
conference schedule.
Wishing you each the best in the new year and looking forward to
seeing you next week-
Stacey
Stacey Bricka, PhD
Chair, TRB Committee on Urban Transportation Data and Information
Systems (ABJ30)
