Transportation Radio
I hope you've been enjoying my Transportation Radio reports. The latest one can be found in today's edition and includes an interview with Robert Skinner, the Executive Director of the Transportation Research Board, discussing next month's TRB Annual Meeting. The reports are also appearing in other newsletters and websites, when appropriate.
If you're looking for past reports you'll find them all neatly listed on a Web page I created to archive them. Just go to: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/transportation-radio. I welcome your feedback and suggestions for future topics.
