Who Can Participate?

The TRB Research Collaboration Portal is designed for transportation professionals at all career stages to engage with impactful research. Researchers and academics can share findings, gather peer feedback, and identify collaboration opportunities. Practitioners—including state DOTs, agencies, and private firms—help shape studies that address real-world challenges, ensuring research translates into practical solutions. Students and early-career professionals gain valuable mentorship and hands-on experience with cutting-edge projects. Meanwhile, policy makers stay informed on evidence-based innovations to support data-driven decision-making. Whether you're contributing expertise or seeking insights, the portal connects you to a network advancing transportation’s future.

TRB Executive Committee

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.
