Members and Friends of the Congestion Pricing Committee,
Two updates:
POSTER PROPOSAL
Please remember that the end of the day today is the
deadline for the poster proposal.
PAPER REVIEWS
Initial review assignments have been made. If you
received one or more papers to review, please scan them to determine if you
would not want to review the paper or would not be able to complete the review
by September 15. For any review that you cannot complete, notify Ken
Buckeye ([log in to unmask])
and Patrick Decorla-Souza ([log in to unmask])
right away. Please remember that a careful review is very important and
detailed comments are particularly helpful. The comments help us in determining
which papers to have presented and published as well as helping the authors in
revising the paper. We have strict limits from TRB on how many papers can
be presented and published, so we do need to rank them. Your frank
evaluations are critical to this process.
Your primary role is to judge the technical merit of the
paper, not to re-write it. You should not spend effort editing a paper
that either requires much editing or is not acceptable in terms of
content. You may comment that a paper needs much editing, or if you spot
minor spelling or grammatical errors in an otherwise good and well-written
paper, this would help the author(s). But mostly we are interested in
your comments regarding the merits of the paper’s content.
Finally, if you did not receive any papers for review and
would like to get one for review please let Ken and Patrick know.
Thanks for your hard work (and special thanks to Mark Burris
for the template of this email!),
