It points out that the Transportation Research Board (TRB) School Transportation Subcommittee, hosted by the Transportation Safety Management Committee, provides a focal point for discussing and debating the diverse issues involved in school transportation, and for identifying research needs, presenting results, and sharing strategies and solutions. The subcommittee's call for papers for the TRB Annual Meeting has sought submissions on the topics of school transportation and: safety and security; children's health; selection of modes; air quality; the impact on roadways; the interactions with school planning and pupil assignments; and intelligent transportation systems applications.
