TRB 2019 Includes More Than 800 Sessions

The meeting program will cover all transportation modes, with 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.

A number of sessions and workshops will focus on the spotlight theme for the 2019 meeting: Transportation for a Smart, Sustainable, and Equitable Future.

More than 250 exhibitors will be present to demonstrate the latest in transportation innovation and technology. A number of the mobile lidar vendors, mapping and software companies will be on hand along with the UAV/UAS vendors.

Professional Development Hours (PDHs) may be claimed for attending the TRB Annual Meeting. Each hour of participation earns one PDH. Attendees must maintain their own records of attendance and can do so using this form. At the request of a licensing or a certifying agency, TRB will confirm an individual’s meeting registration; however, TRB is not able to confirm attendance at specific sessions.
