Happy New Year! In today's TRB e-newsletter there was some exciting
news. TRB announced its new realignment and Health has a seat at the
table as the committee on Transportation and Public Health (AME70). It
is located under the new Transportation and Society (AME00) section
which is under the new Sustainability and Resilience Group (AM000). As
to any of the specifics I am assuming that we will hear more at the
Annual Meeting in two weeks. Our meeting will be Monday afternoon,
January 13 at 3:45. The meeting is open to public and the agenda is
attached.

TRB announces a major strategic realignment of its volunteer structure
In an effort to ensure that the talent of TRB’s thousands of volunteers
can best focus on 21st century critical and emerging transportation
issues, the Technical Activities Council and Technical Activities
Division of TRB are announcing a new volunteer structure. TRB is
positioning itself to be the premier source of ideas, knowledge, and
innovations. A key part of this effort is a review and strategic
alignment of the organization's standing technical committees. More
information about the new structure and other resources, included an
introductory letter and Frequently Asked Questions, can be found here.
