It's that time again - the annual meeting of the Transportation Research Board in Washington DC will happen January 10-14. Two sessions include presentations specifically about carsharing, both on the afternoon of Monday, January 11th.
• Carsharing and Bikesharing: Evaluating Market Share and Modal Impacts 1:30PM- 3:15PM
• Parking Policies and Approaches: Public Transit and Carsharing Hilton 3:45PM- 5:30PM
They're both happening at the Hilton Hotel near Dupont Circle. The sessions are sponsored by the AP020 Emerging and Innovative Public Transport and Technologies subcomittee, chaired by Dr. Matt Barth of the University of California at Riverside. The subcommittee meeting will be held at noon on January 13 at the hotel.
