Organizational Chart
The core technical activities of the Transportation Research Board receive support from three groups of institutional affiliates: sponsors, sustaining affiliates, and organizational affiliates.
Sponsors are the major source of financial support for TRB's core technical activities. Federal, state, and local government agencies and professional societies and organizations that represent various industry groups are eligible to be TRB sponsors. Fees and services are negotiated with each sponsor to best serve its particular needs and to provide fundamental support for the Board's programs and activities of interest to the entire transportation community. The minimum annual fee is $60,000.
Sustaining Affiliates are agencies and organizations, including individual corporations and businesses, that support TRB at a level considerably higher than the direct cost of the publications and other services they receive. The minimum annual contribution is $15,000.
Organizational Affiliates include government agencies, academic organizations, private organizations, and consultants. Contributions for organizational affiliates are based on one of three levels of benefits they elect to receive. Click here for a list of contributors.
