December 11, 2023
More than 50 Kittelson team members will be participating in the 103rd Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting from January 7-11, 2024. We’re be presenting on exciting research publications that came out in 2023 (like the Roundabout Guide and Cross-Section Guide), previewing the upcoming Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) guide, sharing findings about using video analytics to predict crashes, and discussing multimodal signal improvements, safety network screening, pedestrian-focused design, and affordable housing, just to name a few!
Will you be there too? We invite you to peruse our presentation schedule below and join us at these workshops, committee meetings, poster sessions and lectern sessions! In addition, if you’d like to set up a meeting with one of our team members to talk about working at Kittelson—whether you’re a seasoned researcher or a student planning to graduate soon—please fill out this form and we’ll get back to you to set up a time.
We're excited to send a cohort of more than 50 team members to the 2024 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting, and hope to connect with you there!

More TRB 2024 Resources
If you can’t tell, we get pretty excited about TRB and transportation research. Here are a few additional tips and resources we’ve put together to help you make the most of the Annual Meeting!
- Tips for Your First TRB Annual Meeting
- How Do We Get More Research Into Practice?
- Our Airport-to-TRB Route Using Capital Bikeshare
- Themes That Emerged from TRB 2023
In addition, knowing how crowded the TRB coffee line and surrounding restaurants can get, our Washington, D.C. office has put together a map of places to eat, caffeinate, socialize, and exercise near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. View it here!
