Telecommuting and remote work allowed many organizations to maintain business continuity through the pandemic. It also presented challenges and risks that must now be considered when planning for long-term and permanent implementation of flexible work arrangements. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, May 20, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will discuss the challenges, risks, and considerations of telecommuting, remote work, and hybrid schedules. Presenters will share mitigation strategies for both organizational and employee barriers. Presenters will also provide practical tools to help measure organizational readiness to implement flexible work arrangements, determine employee and job suitability for telework, and manage remote employees.
This webinar is based on NCHRP Research Report 1072: Telecommuting, Remote Work, and Hybrid Schedules: Managing the Shift to a Flexible Work Future.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
Registration is free for employees of TRB sponsors as well as Titanium and Cobalt Global Affiliates. The registration rate for all other attendees is $100. Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information. Contact Patrice Davenport to inquire about becoming a TRB sponsor or global affiliate organization.
A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.

Modern technology is radically changing how travelers find their way to their destinations. Vehicle mounted navigation systems and smart phone applications are rapidly changing travelers’ level of comfort through the often-unfamiliar landscape and processes associated with large airport properties. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, May 23, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will examine needed changes in the approach to wayfinding for both the ground access and terminal components of passenger processing at modern airports. Presenters will examine the role of personal communication devices in reducing delay and potential anxiety.
This webinar is based on ACRP Report 25: Airport Passenger Terminal Planning and Design, ACRP Report 52: Wayfinding and Signing Guidelines for Airport Terminals and Landside, ACRP Report 40: Airport Curbside and Terminal Area Roadway Operations, and ACRP Research Report 177: Enhancing Airport Wayfinding for Aging Travelers and Persons with Disabilities.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.
There is no fee to attend this webinar. Registration is required.

Landside airport operations are a significant portion of an airport’s daily operations and customer experience. Surface traffic also contributes to a substantial portion of the carbon emissions at airports. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, May 29, 2024 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that will share research and experiences that improve landside operational efficiency, assist in better understanding the customer journey, and help achieve sustainability goals. Presenters will provide carbon-reduction strategies and how to use airport landside data to inform planning and day-to-day operations.
This webinar is based on ACRP Synthesis 132: Airport Landside Data: Collection and Application and ACRP Synthesis 127: Airport Programs that Reduce Landside Vehicle Carbon Emissions.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.

Pavement foundation deformation under asphalt or concrete surface layers cause damage at the surface and reduce service life. Extreme weather and seasonal climate change create additional uncertainty, making it difficult to estimate and reduce foundation degradation and deformation for life cycle assessment periods up to 100 years. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, May 30, 2024 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will provide examples of current technology that is enhancing highway resilience and improving long term performance by reducing pavement foundation deformation.
This webinar features research from NCHRP Research Report 933: Evaluating Mechanical Properties of Earth Material During Intelligent Compaction.
This webinar is a follow-on to the 2024 TRB  Annual Meeting Workshop 1058: Pavement Foundations: 100-Year Design Considerations.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Standing Technical Committees on Mechanics and Drainage of Saturated and Unsaturated Geomaterials, Transportation Earthworks, and Stabilization of Geomaterials and Recycled Materials.
Registration is free for employees of TRB sponsors as well as Titanium and Cobalt Global Affiliates. The registration rate for all other attendees is $100.
