The use of performance measures and data informs transportation decision making. TRB will conduct a webinar on Tuesday, July 21, 2020 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will provide an overview of Transportation Research Circular E-C263: Conference on Performance and Data in Transportation Decision Making.
