As transit agencies expand on-demand microtransit services, some are exploring opportunities to commingle ADA paratransit and general public trips using newer technology platforms. Integrating these service types can offer potential benefits and introduce operational, policy, technology, and customer service challenges. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, September 28, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will explore findings from TCRP Synthesis 183: Operational and Service Factors When Integrating or Consolidating ADA Paratransit and On-Demand Services on the current state-of-the-practice. Presenters will discuss service designs and parameters, communication tools for customer accommodations, and key decision-making considerations related to policy and technology. Representatives from two transit agencies featured as case studies in the synthesis will share their experiences, including benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from commingling paratransit and general public trips.

Practitioners have access to an expanding range of traditional and third-party data sources for walking, bicycling, and other non-motorized travel. Understanding the reliability and appropriate uses of these data is essential for effectively monitoring active transportation traffic. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will explore approaches for validating and using traditional count data and third-party datasets to better understand these traffic patterns. Presenters will share validation methodologies, findings, and case studies examining how traditional count programs can provide observed ground-truth data while third-party datasets can help estimate activity across broader geographic areas and capture temporal and seasonal patterns. Attendees will learn how to assess the reliability of different data sources and determine which are most appropriate for specific applications.

Emerging ground access technologies, including connected, automated, and electric vehicles, are changing how airports plan for landside operations and passenger access. Airports must navigate these technologies while balancing capacity, travel time, passenger experience, accessibility, costs, sustainability, and resilience. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will explore strategies for integrating emerging mobility technologies into airport landside planning and enhancing airport access. Presenters will discuss current airport access issues, considerations for connected and automated vehicles (CAV), and strategies and tools for developing landside facilities that leverage both legacy and emerging technologies.
This webinar is based on ACRP Research Report 269: Enhancing Airport Access with Emerging Mobility.

Pavement condition data is collected using different technologies, vendors, and protocols. When these data are not directly comparable across locations or over time, integrating them is critical to supporting accurate, consistent, and defensible pavement management decisions. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, October 26, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that will explore effective practices for integrating and managing disparate pavement condition data within pavement management systems (PMS). Presenters will discuss methods for standardizing, calibrating, correlating, and validating data to improve consistency and reliability in PMS analyses.

Transportation professionals regularly develop emails, technical guidance, reports, and public-facing materials that communicate an agency’s decisions and actions. Precise, objective language can help agencies communicate clearly while avoiding statements that may unintentionally create or increase liability. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, October 29, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern that will examine legal concepts related to liability-neutral language and how they apply to transportation communications. Presenters will share examples of language that can introduce unnecessary risk, including subjective terms such as “dangerous,” or “sufficient,” and demonstrate how statements can be revised using objective, fact-based language. Attendees will learn practical approaches for critically reviewing their own writing and improving internal and public-facing communications.
