The Transportation Research Board (TRB) 99th Annual Meeting was held this past January 12-16, 2020, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

The event attracted more than 13,000 transportation professionals from across the world. Those professionals hosted more than 5,000 presentations in nearly 800 sessions and workshops, addressing topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions. This year’s meeting was themed A Century of Progress: A Foundation for the Future.

With policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions in attendance, the TRB annual meeting continues to be an amazing platform for PacTrans to demonstrate our abilities, expertise, innovation, and research as one of the country’s leading regional University Transportation Centers (UTCs).

PacTrans student and faculty researchers were in attendance from all seven of our consortium institutions: Boise State University, Gonzaga University, Oregon State University, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, University of Idaho, University of Washington, and Washington State University. In total, PacTrans universities participated in over 100 lectures, poster sessions, workshops, committees, and subcommittees, and submitted over 90 papers to the meeting.
