Hilton To: Lee Munnich Jr <[log in to unmask]> Lee, **** As a way of preparing for the inaugural meeting of the Congestion Pricing Research Sub-committee, I would like potential members and friends to think about the Back to Basics message from TRB. Research is of course the foundation of the TRB work. As such, development of Research Needs Statements will be an important component of the Research Sub-committee agenda. I think one of the goals of the Sub-committee is to develop a robust list of research needs statements for the Congestion Pricing Committee and I ask potential committee participants to be prepared to bring your ideas for robust research needs discussion. Thanks.**** Ken Buckeye**** ** ** -- Lee W. Munnich, Jr. Senior Fellow and Director State and Local Policy Program Hubert H.
