[CTPP] ABJ30(1) seeking ideas for research statements

An important function of TRB is to stimulate research that addresses concerns, issues, or problems facing the transportation community. In support of this function, TRB committees identify and develop research need statements (RNS) for use by practitioners and researchers. A list of RNS can be found here: https://rns.trb.org/. The Census subcommittee (ABJ30(1)) wants to develop 2-3 research needs statements with the goal of submitting one for NCHRP funding. We want your ideas for possible research topics. Data methods as well as applied uses are welcome. The idea needs to involve a Census product (including CTPP) and should be related to transportation and urban data. You can also include things like potential benefits, relevance to the transportation community, and the end product you envision. We will be assembling a small team to consider the ideas and develop some of them into full research needs statements. Please send an email directly to mkaminowitz(a)baltometro.org and clara.reschovsky(a)dot.gov with your ideas by August 1. We look forward to hearing from you!
