CR2C2 researchers will be attending and presenting their latest research at the 105th Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting. The Transportation Research Board (TRB) is a division of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and convenes the largest annual gathering of transportation professionals and researchers from around the world. The meeting program covers all modes of transportation, with sessions and workshops addressing topics of interest to policymakers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives from government, industry, and academic institutions. The 2026 TRB Annual Meeting will be held January 11–15, 2026, in Washington, D.C. at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center and Marriott Marquis. 

Below is the CR2C2 schedule of presentations and sessions at the 2026 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting, highlighting when and where our researchers will be sharing their work throughout the week.
