Megaregions: Surfing the Wave of the Future (2016 TRB Workshop / Session 161)

The concept of megaregions has gained increasing prominence in the transportation sector in the past decade, with formal recognition through the Transportation Research Board (TRB) resulting in the establishment of a Megaregions Subcommittee (ADA20(1)). The subcommittee and FHWA sponsored a workshop on Sunday, January 10, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Washington Convention Center. The workshop presented emerging research and practitioner perspectives on megaregions. Participants discussed the political, economic, and technical issues that must be overcome to address transportation at a megaregions scale.
