About
This committee is concerned with advancing and disseminating practices that improve knowledge and information creation, access, sharing, preservation and retention within and among transportation organizations. The committee identifies critical research needs in these areas, promotes understanding of these topics throughout the transportation community, and fosters the use of library and information science and knowledge management practices through education, training, collaboration, outreach and research.

Strategic Plan
The mission of the TRB Committee on Information and Knowledge Management is to advance and disseminate practices that improve the creation, sharing and retention within member transportation organizations.
Specific concerns of interest include: managing workforce transition (due to retirements, downsizing, staff turnover, and staff movement within the organization); overcoming organizational silos; improving information sharing within traditionally non-sharing cultures, managing personal risks of knowledge sharing; making the business case for knowledge management, and effectively applying new information technologies to improve knowledge sharing, collaboration, and communications.
