TRB to Enter the Social Networking Age with New Web Site

The Transportation Research Board regularly publishes the latest research from throughout the transportation industry, both on the state and federal level, and has established dozens of committees to review operational and safety elements in the different modes, including transit and school transportation.

The board announced that in addition to recent upgrades it has made in sending updates to members and other interested parties via email, it will also soon launch a redesigned Web site. TRB said users will more easily find TRB news, announcements, and publications based on more than 35 different transportation subject areas. The new site will also highlight selected transportation research-related products that have been developed at the federal and state levels, and within the academic and international transportation communities.

The function STN editors are most looking forward to is the new RSS feed. Plus TRB will soon be on Facebook and Twitter.
