The 90th annual Transportation Research Board Meeting will be happening January 23-27, 2011 in Washington DC. It's the great annual meeting of academic researchers and industry practitioners. There are several sessions that include presentations about various aspects of carsharing, as well as public bicycle system and multi-modal connectivity. Sessions general include several presentations summarizing research followed by questions and answer. Complete information about attending TRB can be found here.
While the conference isn't cheap, it is good and you will be able to to attend many other interesting sessions as well as interact with the leading people in transportation. (Sorry, it is really isn't possible to "crash" sessions without registering.) TRB members get a discount on the conference and can participate in defining the discussion about the research agenda in various areas.
Carsharing sessions are sponsored by the the AP020 subcommittee on Emerging and Innovative Public Transport and Technologies, chaired by Dr. Susan Shaheen of UC Berkeley.
