And another TRB Annual Meeting behind us! 😊 #DYK? This was the 105th AM... Yes, that's right, TRB is over 100-year-old! ⏳ Also, #TRBAM is the largest #transportation #research and #engineering event in the world. 🌎 This year's edition may have not hit a record for attendance. But I believe there were over 10,000 participants! 🙌🚁🛩️✈️🚀 #airports #airtravel #aviation #safetyfirst #wearewsp

Still waiting to hear some official stats on #trbam attendance and paper submissions.

It makes me sad that #trbam has cut out and been denied so many voices that are needed in the sector, and it makes me sadder how so much of the online chatter seems pretty much like it’s fine.

Has anyone started a pool on #trbam attendance this year? I’m going with 7,500 (down ~25%)

Between Fed conference and travel lockdown, visa issues/fears, the war on university grants, #elbowsup Canadians, and now the apparent @trb.org self-immolation, will there even be a #trbam 2026

TRB is dissolving all committees. This wasn't unexpected, but they're couching it in a technocratic need to "get back to basics" and ease administrative burden when in fact it's a great big shit sandwich that we're all expected to eat and not make a fuss about.
