The Research in Progress (RIP) database provides access to information on current transportation research and highlights what other institutions are working on. Together, RIP and TRID (an integrated database of transportation research) are essential tools for developing research problem statements, preparing and responding to requests for proposals (RFPs), and planning future projects. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, September 10, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that will show researchers how to search both databases to find ongoing and recently completed research. The presenter will share how to obtain an account to enter and update projects to comply with Public Access Plan requirements and help other researchers find out what is already in progress or recently completed.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Executive Office.

As organizations expand analytics and performance reporting, many are finding that their data systems are not producing results they can consistently trust or defend. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will present case studies on how state departments of transportation (DOT) are governing data systems to improve confidence in dashboards, analytics, and cross-division reporting. Presenters will share practical approaches to data ownership, lineage, and quality that help make reporting more consistent and reliable. Attendees will walk away with examples they can apply to strengthen trust in their own data.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Data Systems and Governance.
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.

trong>The Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (TCQSM) helps improve public transportation through evaluating service quality from the passenger point of view; measuring and forecasting the capacity, speed, and reliability of transit modes; and sizing elements of transit stops and stations. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, September 17, 2026 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that will provide a high-level overview of how the manual can be used in common transit planning, operations, and design applications, and will highlight new and updated content since the last publication in 2013. Presenters will introduce companion analysis tools and training resources that can be used in conjunction with the manual.
This webinar is based on TCRP Research Report 262: Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual, 4th edition.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program.

Get support to effectively, responsibly, and legally use AI in transportation construction workflows. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, September 24, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will introduce practical AI concepts for transportation construction management including generative AI, large language models, machine learning, and human-in-the-loop decision-making. Presenters will discuss what AI can and cannot do, how professional responsibility is maintained, and how owners, consultants, contractors, and technology providers can approach AI adoption without overreliance or misuse. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how to begin evaluating AI in their own construction management context.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Integrated Management of Construction.
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.

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.
