Industry leaders, policymakers, administrators, and researchers from government, industry, and academia will gather online for the Transportation Research Board’s 100th Annual Meeting, taking place virtually throughout January 2021. Committee meetings will take place Jan. 5-8 and Jan. 11-15, while sessions and exhibits will be held Jan. 21-22 and Jan. 25-29.
This year's spotlight theme is “Launching a New Century of Mobility and Quality of Life.” Over 350 sessions and workshops will cover all transportation modes.

The Chair’s Plenary Session will begin on Jan. 27 at 11:30 a.m. EST, featuring keynote speaker Marcia McNutt, president of the National Academy of Sciences. She will discuss the National Academies’ strategic plan and important future issues in science related to transportation, in addition to the importance of envisioning a future of sustainable transportation that provides accessibility for everyone.
