We have a Poster Session that could use a moderator. Is anyone interested? Attached is a PDF showing the papers and presentations that will be part of the session. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Presiding officers for posters? Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2006 08:43:07 -0400 From: "Palmerlee, Thomas" <TPalmerlee(a)nas.edu> A number of committees are designating presiding officers for poster sessions. Here are some general duties and a version of guidelines are attached. It seems to be a good idea. Let me know if you want to add presiding officers to any of your poster sessions. Tom A presiding officer will record missing authors, relative level of attendance, poster quality (including degree of compliance with TRB guidelines), and to make certain the session signs and poster board location labels are in their proper place (though TRB staff has primary responsibility for the last item).

by Ed Christopher

If anyone is interested in this let me know and I will pass your interest along.. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Improving Coordination among the TRB Data and Safety Committee Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2006 16:24:32 -0400 From: "Palmerlee, Thomas" <TPalmerlee(a)nas.edu> To: <Simon.Washington(a)asu.edu>,<pisarski(a)ix.netcom.com>,<ben(a)ksdot.org>,<edc(a)berwyned.com>,<coutod(a)michigan.gov>,<curtis.clabaugh(a)dot.state.wy.us>,<psh(a)ornl.gov>,<jzmud(a)nustats.com>,<johns003(a)tc.umn.edu>,<mgardner(a)fugro.com>,<harvey.miller(a)geog.utah.edu>,<ritchey(a)battelle.org>,<s-tucker(a)tamu.edu>,<scott.drumm(a)portofportland.com>,<reg(a)iastate.edu>,<gary.spring(a)merrimack.edu>,<mcneil(a)ce.udel.edu>,"Vandervalk Anita " <avandervalk(a)camsys.com> CC: "Palmerlee, Thomas" <TPalmerlee(a)nas.edu> With recent activities like the Integrating Roadway, Traffic and Crash Data Peer Exchange and Information Technology Committees Improving Highway Safety through Crash Data Systems, safety is becoming a bigger part of our portfolio. Rick Pain and I met to discuss improving cooperation and coordination among the TRB data-related committee and those involving safety, which he staffs. We thought that some sort of joint section subcommittee would be a good mechanism. Rick is checking with relevant committees on his side, including the Safety Data, Analysis and Evaluation (ANB20) to gage their interest. By this email, I am doing the same thing with all my committees. If you are interested in working more closely with the TRB safety committees, let me know and we will try to start a dialogue. Tom

[Fwd: [CTPP] We Need you Help---PLEASE Comment]

by Ed Christopher

For those on the CTPP listseve bear with me for the duplicate post. As you can see there is a problem statement wending its way through the TCRP process that could use your comments. The details are provided below. I would especially hope that the transit interests on the committee give it some special attention. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [CTPP] We Need you Help---PLEASE Comment Date: Wed, 04 Oct 2006 13:28:38 -0500 From: Ed Christopher <edc(a)berwyned.com> To: ctpp-news maillist <ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net> This past summer I worked with several TRANSIT planners and developed a research problem statement calling for a "guidebook on using ACS and other census data for transit planning." The official tittle is #32 Census Data for Transit Systems Planning (07-H-03). The problem statement was submitted to the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the National Academies of Sciences (TCRP-http://www4.trb.org/trb/crp.nsf) In trying to find out the status of the proposal I just learned that of all the projects submitted, 41 have passed the initial screening phase and have been recommended for funding consideration. Of the 41 projects, about 10 will be selected and COMMENTS are being sought from the community at large. On October 10-20 the TCRP Oversight and Project Selection (TOPS) Committee will meet to select the FY07 problem statements. Specifically, comments are sought on the following aspects of the individual problem statements: 1) the merits of the problem statement and 2) any ongoing work of which you are aware that would create a potential duplication of effort. Your comments would then be made available to the TOPS Committee at the October meeting. Comments will be accepted through Sunday, October 15, 2006. To submit comments, send an email to tcrp(a)nas.edu with the subject "Comments on Problem Statements." Be sure to identify the problem statement(s) being commented on. Here is the URL to the 41 problem statements and further information on call for comments. http://www4.trb.org/trb/crp.nsf/reference/boilerplate/Attachments/$file/200… Feel free to call me with any questions, etc. But most of all please comment. -- Ed Christopher 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (cell) FHWA RC-TST-PLN 19900 Governors Dr Olympia Fields, IL 60461 _______________________________________________ ctpp-news mailing list ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net http://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news
