Pavement management decisions must balance infrastructure conditions, roadway safety, and limited agency resources. Incorporating friction and crash data into pavement management systems can help agencies consider pavement surface safety alongside traditional measures such as cracking, ride quality, and rutting. TRB will host a webinar on Friday, November 6, 2026 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM Eastern that will explore how agencies can integrate friction and crash data into pavement management decisions to support roadway safety and Vision Zero goals. Presenters will discuss the relationship between pavement friction and roadway safety and how friction and crash data can be incorporated into treatment selection and pavement investment decisions. Attendees will learn approaches for balancing competing pavement conditions and safety priorities within defined agency resources.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Pavement Performance, Evaluation and Surface Interaction.
The registration fee is $100. Purchase a webinar package for discounted pricing. Complimentary registration is available for employees of TRB sponsors, standing technical committee chairs, involved CRP panel members, media, congressional staff, and TRB or National Academies staff.

Customer experience (CX) programs help public transit agencies better understand rider needs, strengthen customer-focused services, and build both ridership and community support. As these programs expand without industry-wide standards, transit agencies are taking a variety of approaches to their design, organizational structure, and performance measurement. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, November 10, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern that will explore the state of practice for transit agency CX programs based on TCRP Synthesis 187: Transit Agency Customer Experience Programs. Presenters will discuss emerging practices and findings from an industry scan, survey, and case examples, including approaches to strategic planning, organizational structure, performance measurement, and multidisciplinary collaboration. The webinar will also highlight gaps and opportunities for future research to strengthen CX program effectiveness and advance the field.

AI can improve day-to-day work while protecting sensitive data and maintaining confidence in results. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, November 16, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern that will explore practical ways transportation professionals can use AI coding agents, open-source language models, and locally deployed tools even without traditional programming backgrounds. Presenters will share examples from a state DOT inspection form digitization system and privacy-preserving transportation plan review workflows. They will also discuss how transportation domain experts can build, evaluate, and apply AI tools while managing considerations related to accuracy, confidentiality, cost, and performance, including when commercial AI services or local and open-source models may be appropriate.

Disruptions, shifting work patterns, evolving economic conditions, and other forces can make historical travel behavior assumptions less reliable. Transportation agencies and researchers need flexible approaches to collecting and interpreting data as these conditions continue to change. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, November 18, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will explore how practitioners can assess travel data from traditional and emerging sources. Presenters will discuss how changing conditions affect both data quality and interpretation. They will share methodological approaches for evaluating limitations and adapting data collection and analysis strategies. Attendees will learn how these approaches can strengthen confidence in travel behavior analysis and support sound planning decisions.
