Thousands of transport research professionals are descending on Washington, DC for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) 102nd Annual Meeting.

Held in person from 8–12 January, its theme is Rejuvenation Out of Disruption: Envisioning a Transportation System for a Dynamic Future. 

In addition to a number of sessions and workshops for policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academia, there will also be an appearance from US secretary of transportation, Pete Buttigieg.

His fireside chat with US secretary of energy Jennifer M. Granholm will take place on Wednesday, 11 January 11 at 1:30pm.

The focus will be on the Joint Office on Energy and Transportation which was created through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to facilitate collaboration between the two areas.

This joint focus is expected to be significant when deploying a network of electric vehicle chargers, zero-emission fueling infrastructure, and zero-emission transit and school buses.
