Below is a description of the TRB LIST Committee sponsored programs for the 2013 TRB Annual Meeting.

Please note a few things:

1.       There is no dates or times attached to any of the presentations since these have not yet been posted.

2.       All sessions are final.

3.       The Committee will have a meeting, which is not listed here and, as usual, is open to anyone.

4.       As far as I know, TRB is working very hard to avoid conflict between LIST programs and the B-0002 meeting. But this is still TBD.

The Annual Meeting will be held Thursday September 20 (half day, begin after noon) and all day Friday September 21 in conjunction with the Pooled Fund Annual Meeting being held Wednesday September 19 and Thursday September 20 (half day) in St. Louis. Please send agenda items to Karen.Perrin@illinois.gov

Hotel and meeting space information will be sent closer to the date.

The next teleconference after the Annual Meeting will be held Tuesday November 13th from 1-2pm.

A teleconference was held Feb. 24 and 27, 2012 by Amanda Wilson, Director of the National Transportation Library, concerning NTKN topics. Attendees were: Amanda Wilson (NTL); Maggie Sacco (Pooled Fund); Janet Coles (WTKN Chair); Lynn Matis (ETKN Chair); Karen Perrin (MTKN Co-Chair); and Leni Oman (AASHTO RAC TKN Task Force). 

Various topics discussed including:

-- upcoming TRB Workshop in CA in July "Collaboration in Sharing Transportation Information", will be attended by Amanda Wilson, Kendra Levine, Maggie Sacco from the TKN community and others from research, data, IT communities, etc.

-- NTKN meeting following SLA in July

-- schedule of regular meetings of this group to increase collaboration and communication among the regional TKNs and interested parties, including NTL

-- NTKN refinement of strategic guidance documents, hope is to complete a summary strategic vision document and an updated "working plan" document for achievable tasks and projects

-- logo examples were provided

Would be good to follow up on a discussion of what MTKN hopes to see from an NTKN leadership from the NTL. Any aspect of this discussion is welcome here, but please provide some input / feedback on the logos as well as potential tasks or projects you would find useful or provide strategic vision statements which should be included in an NTKN document
