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.
