Subject: [H+T--Friends] TRB Activities

We have a lot of Health and Transportation activities underway at TRB.
Attached is session listings and the things our subcommittee is directly
tied to. I have also attached our meeting agenda and our annual report.

for those going to TRB..
Monday right after lunch is our big deal, mega, high caliper, VIP
session (session 359) that we are very excited about. It is a panel with
three state DOT Secretaries and a state Health Commissioner.  Our
subcommittee meeting will follow at 5:45 PM.

Tuesday at 10 AM we have two poster sessions featuring the papers we
received from our paper call and the others we go to our special call
for posters.

Wednesday there a session and discussion focusing on health and
transportation at the regional level.

There are a whole lot of other health and transportation activities
going on that are listed here.
