LRRB Member Responsibilities

Members are expected to attend meetings and prepare by reviewing appropriate material before Local Road Research Board (LRRB) meetings.

LRRB members serve as representatives of local road practitioners and are committed to carrying out LRRB's mission. They make presentations about the LRRB during appropriate meetings of local transportation practitioners, and staff the LRRB booth at various conferences and trade shows.

LRRB members actively support local transportation practitioners through their participation in local focus group meetings, active solicitation of research topics, and identification of Technical Advisory Panel (TAP) participants.

The LRRB nominates and elects a Chair, who oversees and leads LRRB meetings. The Chair is responsible for organizing ad hoc committees as necessary to review or further develop LRRB issues, naming committee members and appointing committee chairs. In addition to these responsibilities, the Chair or designated LRRB member also represents the LRRB on Research governance committees and the LTAP steering committee such as TERRA, PRI, and ITS Institute Board. The Chair serves LRRB for a period of up to 3 years.
