As we wrote about yesterday, the Transportation Research Board will hold its 91st Annual Meeting on January 22-26, 2012, in Washington, D.C. at the Washington Marriott Wardman Park, Omni Shoreham, and Washington Hilton hotels. The TRB annual meeting is one of the largest conferences for transportation. The meeting covers all transportation modes and will host 4,000 presentations in nearly 650 sessions. The sessions below cover everything from climate change and sustainability to health, road safety, data, and travel behavior.

To make it easier to navigate and identify relevant events for sustainable transport, we put together a list of sessions that fall under the following five topics: Integrated Transport, Urban Development and Accessibility, Air Quality and Climate Change, Health and Road Safety; and Communications and Marketing.

You can find a list of sessions specifically featuring the work and staff of EMBARQ here.
