This is just to report back to the Urban Data committee on a meeting that several of us attended on May 14 at NATMEC in Orlando. Anita Vandervalk, chair of the Statewide Data committee has been coordinating these meetings. For those new to this, the notion of making a better connection between operations and the data community is an emerging issue with TRB as well as many others. As you will see two of our committee members, Shawn Turner and Rich Margiotta are also participating in these activities. Attached are the notes from the meeting as well as some attachments that are referenced in the notes. -- Ed Christopher Metropolitan Activities Midwest Resource Center Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-283-3501 (F)
