The world is grappling with the containment of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) until a vaccine is developed. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, June 16, 2020 to discuss how planning, preparedness, and response can mitigate exposure and viral spread of communicable diseases among transportation customers and employees. Presenters discussed their experiences on the ground. Even locations without reported cases can benefit from adapting workgroups, communication plans, and a long-term strategy to move forward.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Critical Transportation Infrastructure.
