On June 1, 2016, TRB begins accepting papers for consideration as part of the program for the 96th TRB Annual Meeting, January 8–12, 2017, in Washington, D.C., and for publication in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR).

The spotlight theme for the 2017 TRB Annual Meeting is Transportation Innovation: Leading the Way in an Era of Rapid Change. The information-packed program is expected to attract more than 12,000 transportation professionals from around the world.

All papers—whether for presentation at the 2016 TRB Annual Meeting or publication in the TRR—must be submitted in PDF format directly to TRB’s paper submission website no earlier than June 1 and no later than August 1, 2016.

TRB’s standing committees have issued general calls for papers on a variety of topics that would be appropriate for the Annual Meeting. In addition, authors are invited to submit papers related to the above-mentioned spotlight theme, or on any other topics that would be of interest to the TRB community.
