The Transportation Research Board (TRB) 102nd Annual Meeting was held in person, January 8–12, 2023 in Washington, D.C. This year’s theme, Rejuvenation Out of Disruption: Envisioning a Transportation System for a Dynamic Future, asked participants to envision transportation in a post-COVID world.
C2SMART was well-represented at TRB this year, with 39 affiliated students and researchers presenting ongoing work.
This builds on a rich history of C2SMART’s attendance at TRB’s Annual Meetings, including last year’s strong showing, where we led 13 presentations.
