UC Berkeley at TRB
WINTER 2012 -- Nearly 100 UC Berkeley transportation students, faculty, and researchers will take part in the Transportation Research Board's 91st Annual Meeting, which will be held in Washington, D.C. from January 22 through 26.
TRB is one of six major divisions of the National Research Council, which serves as an independent adviser to the federal government and others on scientific and technical questions of national importance. More than 10,000 transportation professionals from around the world attend the organization's annual meeting.
This year's theme is Transportation: Putting Innovation and People to Work.
ITS Berkeley will hold its annual TRB reception at Bistro Bistro, 1727 Connecticut Ave., Wednesday, Jan. 25 from 6 to 9 p.m.
