The TRB Executive Committee is the senior policy body of TRB, composed of approximately 25 members appointed by the Chair of the National Research Council of the National Academies. These members are selected to provide balanced representation of transportation modes, academic disciplines, private and public sectors, levels of government, geographical regions, and other relevant factors.
Members are appointed for a term of three years and may be reappointed for one term. In addition, approximately 20 ex officio members serve on the Executive Committee; these members have no vote but otherwise participate fully in Executive Committee activity. Ex officio members include the representatives of the Board’s various sponsoring organizations. A list of past chairs of TRB's Executive Committee is available online.
