In 2007, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Planning and
Environment Group launched a new competition looking for fresh and
creative methods for communicating technical transportation issues with
“John and Jane Q. Public” to share with others within the profession.
The theme for this year's call is "Communicating the Connection,
Transportation and Public Health" I have attached the flyer and
information on the program can be found at
https://sites.google.com/site/trbcommitteeada60/jjpcompetition. The
link to the solicitation for this year is at
https://sites.google.com/site/trbcommitteeada60/jjpcompetition/2016-communi….
The winning entries, will be judged and selected by a panel of
transportation and communication professionals. They will be featured
in both a podium and a poster session at the TRB 95th Annual Meeting in
Washington, D.C. (January 8-12, 2017). Winning entries also will be
featured in an edition of TRB’s Transportation Research News (TRNews).
For those of you not familiar with TRNews, last September the TRB
Subcommittee on Health and Transportation developed a special issue
devoted entirely to health and transportation. It can be viewed in its
entirety at
