Agency leaders face an endless stream of decisions—large and small, expected and unexpected, long-term and highly urgent—each carrying meaningful consequences for their organizations and stakeholders. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, March 12, 2026 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern that will highlight insights from NCHRP Research Report 1162: Advancing the Art and Science of Decision-Making: A Guide, which blends practical guidance, real-world experiences from transportation agency executives, and findings from cognitive science to support stronger, more intentional leadership decisions. The session will explore the foundations of human decision-making and examine practical strategies for navigating common challenges in complex environments. Presenters will define key decision-making principles, share case studies drawn from real-world leadership situations, and discuss how executives approached and resolved those decisions.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
The registration fee is $60. 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.

A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.

Perpetual pavement adoption requires rethinking traditional asphalt pavement design. Unlike flexible pavements that are designed to fail through cracking or rutting after a certain traffic level, perpetual pavements are engineered to prevent fatigue cracking and structural rutting, limiting distresses to the surface layer where they can be renewed every 18 – 20 years. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, March 19, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will introduce the concepts needed to complete a design and highlight how agencies are applying them to design perpetual highway asphalt pavements. Presenters will also share how one agency developed an experimental plan to support the construction of perpetual airfield asphalt pavement.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Asphalt Pavement Design and 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.

The Association of Flight Attendants-Communications Workers of America (AFA-CWA) results surveyed nearly 5,000 flight attendants across 30 air carriers. The survey, released in 2021, showed that 50% of respondents witnessed misconduct during boarding procedures and 13% witnessed misconduct in the gate area, indicating that many unruly incidents on the aircraft begin before boarding. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, March 25, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will provide practical guidance for reducing and responding to incidents of disruptive and unruly behavior in an airport setting. Presenters will offer a structured approach to understanding root causes, prevention and mitigation strategies, coordinated response, and post-incident analysis.
This webinar is based on ACRP Research Report 280: Reducing and Managing Disruptive and Unruly Behavior in Airports.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.

TRID helps researchers locate solutions to problems, avoid duplication of work, save resources, and satisfies Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements to consult TRB’s TRIS Databases to identify ongoing or previously completed research on a given topic. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern that will explain why TRID is the single best place to start your transportation research. Attendees will learn how to start with a broad or basic keyword search and learn to use the specific features to refine the results. Precision search tools will be covered, and attendees will know how to share or export the most relevant results they've identified.
