The Transportation Research Board (TRB) just published “Integrating the Military into the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Process” by Sam Belfield (HRTPO staff) in its Transportation Research Record, Journal of the Transportation Research Board, No. 2397, dated 2013 and dedicated to planning.
“The Transportation Research Board is one of six major divisions of the National Research Council. The mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation innovation and progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisciplinary, and multimodal. The Board’s varied activities annually engage more than 7,000 engineers, scientists, and other transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest.”
Papers published in the Transportation Research Record have been reviewed by at least three experts and “accepted for publication through the Transportation Research Board’s peer review process”.
Mr. Belfield leads the HRTPO's planning and analysis of military transportation needs in Hampton Roads, Virginia. His works include:
To complete these studies, Mr. Belfield convened a group of military representatives and transportation stakeholders to help guide the work. One result of this work is improved scoring for transportation projects that benefit the military in HRTPO’s Project Prioritization Tool used to select projects for the HRTPO Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
As a member of TRB’s Military Transportation Committee, Mr. Belfield has shared his work with interested parties around the nation.
