TRB is soliciting abstracts on Bus Rapid Transit for an upcoming conference on June 18-20, 2018, in Los Angeles at the remodeled Millennium Biltmore hotel. The last TRB conference on BRT was held in 2012. Since then TRB has participated in a “BRT Tuesday” at the APTA Bus Conference. The feeling is that we are ready as an industry for another BRT conference because there has been so much growth and interest in this mode over the last 5 years. If you are involved with planning or operating a BRT line please consider submitting an abstract and coming to the conference. We chose Los Angeles because of LA Metro’s extensive BRT investment and good tour opportunities. Abstracts are due December 15, 2017. The conference is being planned by TRB’s Standing Committee on Bus Transit Systems (AP050). Please submit contributions at the following website by December 15, 2017: https://catalyst.omnipress.com/#collection/225/submission Questions about BRT 2018 may be directed to TRB Staff, Steve Andrle at SAndrle@nas.edu or Claire Randall at Crandall@nas.edu. More details about the conference and the procedure/format of submissions can be found here.
