Workforce Summit Notes and Resources

About

Convened by TRB, the National Summit on the Future of the Transportation Workforce will be held June 2-4, 2025 in Westminster, CO. This event is the first national conversation on this critical issue since 2012. Thought leaders in transportation workforce recruitment, training, retention, and knowledge management will address the challenges faced in each step of the workforce life cycle. Attendees will include representatives from federal, state, and local transportation agencies; metropolitan planning organizations; public transit agencies; academia; and private industry.

This interactive two-and-a-half-day summit will facilitate innovative thinking and problem solving. The conversation will identify research needs of practitioners to ensure a resilient and skilled workforce for our changing modes and communities. The program will center around three key questions:

How do we attract and engage a diverse workforce?
What kind of workforce do we need for the 21st century?
What business models and tools sustainably support workforce needs?

In addition to plenary panels, attendees will participate in working group breakout sessions with discussions framed by short presentations. Several poster sessions will cover a full range of innovative ideas, approaches, and research.

Presentation - TRB Webinar Developing Statewide Comprehensive Transit Information Systems

About

State departments of transportation (DOTs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) are working to improve how they collect, integrate, and present transit schedule data across multiple agencies within their regions. TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, May 15, 2025 from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM Eastern that discussed strategies for integrating diverse transit data into a single platform or centralized source. Different state DOTs and MPOs have different goals for this integration—ranging from data collection and analysis to enhancing traveler information—which result in varied approaches. Presenters shared examples of these approaches, highlighted common challenges and solutions, and explored ongoing questions about implementing integrated transit data systems at the statewide or regional level.

This webinar was based on TCRP Synthesis 172: Statewide Approaches to the Development of Comprehensive Transit Information Systems.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program.

The slides are linked in the meeting materials. View the recorded webinar below.

Webinar agenda and presenters

Identify reasons that DOTs/MPOs might integrate data from different transit agencies – Rebecca Martin, EBP US
Understand the larger strategies (dependent on objective) for doing the integration – Brandon Irvine, EBP US
Question and answer session moderated by Cecilia Viggiano, EBP US

The first 60 minutes of the webinar were for presentations and the final 30 minutes were reserved for audience questions.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this webinar, participants can:

Identify key motivations for state DOTs and MPOs to integrate transit data across multiple agencies
Describe common strategies and approaches used to create comprehensive transit data systems
Recognize challenges and best practices when implementing integrated transit data solutions at a regional or statewide level

Presentation - TRB Webinar Navigating Current and Future Freight Challenges

About

The freight industry is rapidly evolving, driven by the growth of e-commerce, increasing demands on emergency mobility, and persistent challenges such as truck parking shortages. These issues are often overlooked but are critical to developing a resilient and efficient freight transportation system and shaping priorities for urban freight management. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, May 8, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that explored strategies and innovations addressing these pressing freight mobility challenges. Presenters highlighted innovative approaches to mobility during emergencies, freight trip generation dynamics in urban settings, and the economic and operational costs of inadequate truck parking infrastructure.

This webinar was based on NCHRP Research Report 1115: Transporting Freight in Emergencies A Guide on Special Permits and Weight Requirements.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committees on Freight Transportation Planning and Logistics and Disaster Response, Emergency Evacuations, and Business Continuity.

The slides are available. Please visit the webinar details page to access the recording.

Webinar agenda and presenters

Which sector produces more freight trips? B2B or B2C? – Jose Holguin-Veras, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Addressing the Impacts and Costs of Truck Parking Shortages – Sebastian Guerrero, WSP and Janice Marino-Doyle, New Jersey Department of Transportation
Transporting freight in emergencies: Special permits and weight requirements – Sushant Sharma, Texas A&M Transportation Institute
Question and answer session moderated by Sushant Sharma, Texas A&M Transportation Institute

The first 60 minutes of the webinar were for presentations and the final 30 minutes were reserved for audience questions.

Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering Spring Meeting - Developing Consistent Geohazard Parameters for Infrastructure System Design Against Extreme Events

May 8 - 9, 2025

Past

About

Lifeline Infrastructure consists of large and broadly distributed systems spread over many types of terrain and geologic settings and exposed to many different geohazards (e.g., earthquake, flood, and weather events). Because infrastructure systems provide essential services to communities, their resilience in the face of extreme events is vital. Confidence in system performance following extreme events depends on: (1) defining performance criteria and objectives; (2) defining geohazard parameters consistent with those objectives; and (3) developing design criteria that address geohazard parameters with acceptable levels of risk. Because there is no consistent framework for defining geohazard parameters, it is likely that the same parameters may be inappropriately applied to different risks across a system or that inconsistent design parameters may be applied across a system. This could result in misrepresentation of performance expectations. This meeting of the Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering (COGGE) will consider how methods to identify geohazard design parameters (e.g., deterministic and probabilistic) may or may not be contributing to the confidence in infrastructure performance at the component and system level in the face of extreme events.
