INDUSTRY INVOLVEMENT

TRB

Transportation Research Board
The Transportation Research Board (TRB), as part of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, is a leading organization in transportation improvements and innovation. TRB facilitates the trusted, timely, impartial, and evidence-based exchange of information, research, and advice regarding all modes of transportation. Many Kimley-Horn staff begin their involvement in TRB during college and continue that participation throughout their careers. Our staff have been selected to chair committees, lead workshops, facilitate lectern sessions, present research, and publish papers in the Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board (TRR). To date, we have written or contributed to more than 50 papers published in the TRR.

Grass-roots Municipal Roundabout Programs after 15 years

June 9 | 10:15am – 12:00pm

City’s like Hilliard, Ohio and Carmel, Indiana have applied roundabouts as an intersection control in a programmatic way, upholding sound policy, continuous public outreach and reconnaissance to gather feedback from built designs and the public who use them. In this panel session, they will present the history of their use of roundabouts for the past 15 years, the highs and lows, challenges and successes.
