TRB Webinar: Intermodal Passenger Facility Trends in Technology and User Experience

Rapid change is altering how we plan, build, and manage intermodal passenger transportation facilities. Factors as diverse as a rise in telework and advanced air mobility change user expectations. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will present the key research findings in the pre-publication TCRP Research Report 250 / ACRP Research Report 275 / NCHRP Research Report 1129: Intermodal Passenger Facility Planning and Decision-Making for Seamless Travel. Presenters will summarize key trends and considerations for planning, constructing, operating, and serving airports, rail and bus stations, transit centers, mobility hubs, and water transportation facilities. Decision-makers will need to account for trends across modes, like automated and electric vehicles. Presenters will show examples from existing and planned intermodal passenger facilities to illustrate effective practices in different contexts.

This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Transit Cooperative Research Program, Airport Cooperative Research Program, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program.

There is no fee to attend this webinar. Registration is required. Register here.

A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
