Specialists in the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB's) Technical Activities Division identify current issues, collect and generate information on the issues, and disseminate the information throughout the transportation community. The TRB Annual Meeting, TRB-sponsored conferences and workshops, standing committee meetings and communications, publications, and contact with hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals provide TRB staff with information from the public and private sectors about all modes of transportation. A major source of this information is TRB’s annual state partnership visits program. Transportation professionals on the TRB staff meet on site with representatives of state departments of transportation (DOTs) and with representatives of universities, transit and other transportation agencies, and industry. In addition, TRB staff is involved with planning and delivering conferences, workshops, and meetings. This report summarizes what the TRB staff learned from visits and activities during the past year. This information is presented under the following subject headings: Institutional Issues; Aviation; Freight Systems; Highways; Ports and Waterways; Rail; and Public Transportation.
