Title: Everyone Interested Is Invited: A Short History of TRB
Accession Number: 01726525
Record Type: Component
Record URL: Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Adapted from an upcoming book honoring the Transportation Research Board's (TRB’s) centennial, this article traces the history of the organization, from its first Annual Meeting in November 1920 to the multimodal focus of TRB in the twenty-first century. TRB’s founders intentionally created an organization that convenes experts from academia with those from industry, associations, organizations, and government—a cooperative vision that has continued to the present day. Topics discussed in this article include the chartering of the National Academy of Sciences in 1863; state highway departments, working through the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO), arranging for legislation allowing federal-aid dollars to be spent on research; the founding of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program in 1962; the history of the Marine Board; Consensus studies; and the Strategic Highway Research Program.
