Crossroads: A Transportation Equity and Justice Convening--January 15, MLK Library, Washington, DC
Dear TMIP,
I'm writing to announce that Crossroads: A Transportation Equity and
Justice Convening will take place on
January 15, 2026 at the MLK Library in Washington, DC. We're exploring
options for virtual attendance as well.
We'll be bringing together transportation scholars, practitioners,
advocates, and activists to foster connection and share ideas for building
an equitable and just transportation system—especially as we navigate a
shifting political landscape. [...]

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Nous avons récemment publié un ouvrage en français sur la prévision du trafic pour les routes à péage. Cet ouvrage s’adresse en priorité au milieu financier (prêteurs et investisseurs) et pourra donc sembler d’un intérêt limité pour les professionnels chevronnés de la modélisation. Il pourrait toutefois intéresser vos clients, les membres juniors de vos équipes, des étudiants ou encore des personnes dont l’expertise se situe dans d’autres domaines.
Le prix de vente est de 29,95 $, mais, pendant une période limitée, nous distribuons la version PDF gratuitement aux abonnés du TMIP. Si vous souhaitez en obtenir un exemplaire, merci de me contacter directement à l’adresse suivante : [log in to unmask] Des exemplaires imprimés (à vendre) sont également disponibles.
Bien cordialement,
-----------------------------------------------
Hi fellow subscribers
We have recently published a short book in French about traffic forecasting – specifically for toll roads. The book is aimed at the financial community (lenders and investors) so maybe of limited interest to seasoned modelling professionals. However it may be of interest to your clients, junior members of staff, students or folks whose expertise lies elsewhere.
The book retails at $29.95 but, for a short time, we are distributing the PDF version to TMIP subscribers free of charge. Please reply to me directly at [log in to unmask] if you would like a copy. Hard copies are also available (to purchase) from me.
Kind regards,
Sylvain

Posting on behalf of Rob Schiffer of Metro Analytics:
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Planning, Environment, and Realty is undertaking research to develop a broad framework for applying different analytical approaches in support of transportation planning and decision-making. This effort seeks to develop adaptive processes in support of a more agile transportation programming and planning process. Understanding that there is no single tool to conduct planning, these processes should apply to a complete range of study types including, but not limited to freight, access management, ITS, LRTPs, congestion management, land use, and safety planning.
The research team undertaking this project would like your input regarding the following questions::
(1) Where did you get your assumptions?
(2) How do you come to a consensus on assumptions?
(3) Where do you get your data and how do you verify its accuracy?
(4) Why are you not incorporating other data sources?
(5) Are there additional data types or sources that would be helpful, yet are still out of reach?
(6) What are some important data sources you use that need improvement and how?
If you can participate in this process by engaging in either an interview or listening session with the research team, it will greatly enhance FHWA's ability to identify analytical needs and build institutional capacity to aid decision making in your organization. You may be contacted directly by the research team regarding this effort.
If you wish to participate or desire any further information, please contact the principal investigator Rob Schiffer ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) and copy Stephanie Marks ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) or feel free to reach out directly to the FHWA Project Manager ([log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>).
Any input you can provide is appreciated!

General_Discussion: Results from TRB Annual Meeting Participation Poll
Hi all -
Thank you all for your responses to my TRB Annual Meeting Participation Poll! The poll received 137 responses!
Bill Hereth (thank you, Bill!) put together a quick Shiny app which lets you easily filter results, so you can view them here: https://wfrc.shinyapps.io/survey/
RE: the freeform text, here's a summary:
What TRB Committee(s) were you or have you been involved in, if any?
99 responses
* Travel forecasting and demand: Many respondents were involved in travel forecasting, travel demand, and related modeling and analysis committees.
* Travel behavior and surveys: Several individuals participated in committees focused on travel behavior, travel choice, and travel survey methods.
* Planning and economics: Involvement was noted in planning, land use and economic development, and planning applications committees.
* Specific TRB committees: A significant number of responses mentioned specific committee codes like AEP50, AEP15, AP025, and AME10.
* Other areas: Responses also indicated involvement in areas such as freight planning/modeling, traffic flow, transit systems, and environmental compliance.
Any other comments?
55 reponses
* Concerns about TRB changes: Many respondents expressed disappointment and anger regarding the recent restructuring, lack of transparency, discontinuation of key initiatives (including climate and equity-related work), and the handling of committee memberships. Some question the value and priorities of the organization.
* Reduced likelihood of attendance/participation: Several individuals indicated they are less interested in attending, not planning to go, or will only attend committee meetings without registering. Reasons include cost, visa complications, personal safety concerns in DC, and the lack of incentive due to changes in committee focus (e.g., travel demand, GHG).
* Alternative engagement/conferences: Some respondents are considering or planning to attend other conferences (e.g., Zephyr MOMO) or alternative events like Transportation Camp DC or a counter-event for equity-oriented work.
* Conflicted participation: Some respondents, particularly grad students, feel conflicted due to the importance of networking and national service for their profession, despite their concerns about TRB's changes.
* Support for TRB despite failings: A few respondents still see value in TRB due to its unique scale, international presence, and mix of researchers and practitioners, hoping to see it succeed and contribute to steering its agenda.
Thank you again for all your responses!
-Lisa
