The "I have so many new ideas and actions I'm going to take as soon as I come back from #TRBAM" feeling is starting to set in again. One day I will actually act on those before non-TRB day to day work derail many of them.

If you're into #projectmanagement or if you're looking to get your #PMP PDUs, check out the UMD Project Management Center for Excellence annual project management symposium next week: pmsymposium.umd.edu/pm2022/session…

Justin Owens (with Virginia Tech Transportation Institute) speaking about opportunities to better protect vulnerable road users using vehicle automation, with additional focus on disabled road users. #ITSDC

The final speaker in this session of #ITSDC is Edwin Mein with TNL USA speaking about geofencing as a way to improve air quality and safety.

Great session on #transportation #safety at #transpo2022 showing that #VisionZero is doable and that there are practical strategies that can make a difference.

Rephrasing some statistics really helps put things in perspective: "7 Americans will die [in a crash] before this [90-minute] session ends." #transpo2022

One major benefit of virtual conferences is that live demos and presentations with screenshots tend to be much easier to see on my own screen than in a giant room with a projector and a small projection screen.

LBS #privacy conversation at #TransportationCampDC shows the complexity of the topic. Consumer choice, legislation and regulation, impact of market duopoly, value and current business models, monetization, etc.

#TRBAM Sunday workshops are kicking off. I would highly recommend a workshop on #Transportation #Data Exchanges at 101 Convention Center. We are exploring federal, state, and private sector views and context around these exchanges.

Come meet your Operations colleagues at number 8 tables. Seasoned #TRBAM veterans, including the Section Chair Robert L. Bertini, are here to welcome you and help you get started.

Great to see this workshop happening again this year. Always packed with great innovative research, especially by #TRBAM Young Members.

Question for #TRBAM veterans: how do you find time to act on everything you've learned or ideas/goals you identified during the meeting? Each year I'm energized and excited by the opportunities and then day-to-day happens and capacity and excitement fades... until next year.

So far I've attended 2 #TRBAM workshops, 4 committee meetings, and a couple of sessions - all interesting and useful. But subcommittee meetings today are the most exciting for me: focused, actionable, open, and accessible to all.
