On September 16, 2024, the REAT Center hosted a successful Advisory Board Meeting held remotely at Florida A&M University. Attendees engaged in fruitful discussions on ongoing and future research directions, including transdisciplinary workforce development and outreach activities to promote transportation equity.
Key presentations highlighted the Year 1 project accomplishments across partner universities. At the same time, discussions focused on emerging research needs for rural transportation, the potential for community-based studies, and the importance of developing innovative solutions for underserved populations.
We thank all who participated and look forward to further collaboration in advancing rural transportation research.
