[H+T--Friends] TRB Paper Reviews--Need Volunteers

by Ed Christopher

First Eloisa and I would like to thank all those people who completed their TRB paper reviews by the September 15th deadline. We had an overwhelming number of papers. With that said we still have a few that need more reviews. I am asking for volunteers to help us and review one or more papers within the next week (Wednesday, September 25th). Attached is a list of the papers and their abstracts in need of more reviews. If interested send me the paper number (e.g. 14-1234) and I will have the TRB paper review software send you an invitation. Make sure to send you email to me edc(a)berwyned.com and not to the entire ListServe. Thanks in advance. -- Ed Christopher FHWA Resource Center Planning Team 4749 Lincoln Mall Drive, Suite 600 Matteson, IL 60443 708-283-3534 (V) 708-574-8131 (C)
