Abstract:Presented at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Annual Meeting 2019, Poster Session 1552: Making Transportation Research Smart, Sustainable, and Equitable Through Libraries, Information, and Data.
The National Transportation Knowledge Network (NTKN) is a voluntary alliance of transportation organizations, which supports a network of transportation information professionals, who collaborate to expand, improve access to, and preserve the domain of transportation knowledge. The purpose of NTKN is to coordinate with transportation research centers, transportation libraries, information providers, and technical assistance centers to develop a comprehensive transportation information and knowledge network that supports the activities of its members. Beginning in 2016, the NTKN began a strategic planning process to build a more robust knowledge network. Over 2017 and 2018, the NTKN has built up its infrastructure, including its first dedicated staff member, and a revitalized web presence. This poster will review the current state of the NTKN and discuss next steps to guide NTKN on its mission to “lead, support, and guide the nation’s transportation knowledge networks in their efforts to organize, share, and preserve transportation information, data, and knowledge for their stakeholders in the transportation community.”
