The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials sponsors the annual GIS for Transportation Symposium. It is a chance for persons in government and private industry who are interested in the use of GIS for transportation purposes to get together and share experiences, see state-of-art software, and learn more about this field. The Symposium annually attracts over 400 Symposium registrants in addition to the 50 exhibitors in the technology hall.

This year, the annual meeting of the AASHTO Subcommittee on Information Systems (ASIS) will be co-located with the GIS-T Symposium. This annual meeting of state DOT Chief Information Officers (CIO) and other IT professionals in the transportation industry provides a 3-day working meeting with technical presentations, roundtable discussions, and a business meeting (limited to AASHTO-member delegates). All ASIS members and associated attendees should utilize this GIS-T web site for hotel information and registration processes. Cross participation in presentation sessions and other activities from both ASIS and GIS-T attendees is offered as way of enhancing the attendee's experience.

The Symposium offers keynote speakers, discussion forums, workshops, presentations, and a technology hall where exhibitors showcase their services. Organizations and individuals with information related to GIS in transportation are encouraged to share their experience by presenting at the Symposium.

"Revealing a Gem" is the theme of this year's 26th Annual GIS-T Symposium which is being held in Boise, Idaho on May 5th - 8th, 2013. Technical workshops will be held on Sunday, May 5th.

Development of a Formalized Process for the Adoption, Development, Maintenance, and Enhancement of TransXML Schemas Workshop

TRB sponsored a workshop on the Future of TransXML on Decmber 11, 2013 in Washington, D.C.

Transportation agencies have recognized the value of Extensible Markup Language (XML), and are developing their own XML formats or “schemas” to facilitate data exchange across applications. TransXML provides an open, vendor-neutral format for storing, exchanging, and archiving data.

The workshop engaged both transportation agency and industry stakeholders, including the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Joint Technical Committee on Electronic Engineering Data (JTCEED), to understand steps that could expand the use of TransXML among transportation agencies.

See the TRB Workshop announcement at the following link.

Wordpress offers an easy way for everyone in a group to collaborate and create articles which can be organized into categories to help user navigation. This offers the ideal venue for TRB committees whose members are often spread across the world. I wrote this article in hopes of demystifying the concept of publishing to the web.

The first step is to show you a brief video to demonstrate how WordPress can help organize your committee information.

Welcome to our newly redesigned website! As the voice for Information Systems and Technology in Transportation, it is our duty to set the bar for web development. With the help of WordPress and a custom template developed at the Institute for Transit Informatics at CUTR, we're stepping into the new age of web content management.

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to our newly redesigned website!  Knowing that you depend on our research and insight to develop new, innovative ideas and strengthen policy and practice, we’ve rebuilt our site to make it much easier to find and share resources. As the voice for Information Systems and Technology in Transportation, it is our duty to set the bar for web development. With the help of WordPress and a custom template developed at the Institute for Transit Informatics at CUTR, we're stepping into the new age of web content management.

I hope you enjoy the information and research our Committee has to offer and welcome any suggestions you may have to make our site better. I would be happy to provide other TRB Committees with our template and to assist in installing WordPress if needed.

Thank you for stopping by and welcome to the future of ABJ50.

Sincerely,

Martin Akerman
