<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt">Hello - I want to make sure you are aware of the Transportation Statistics Interest Group (TSIG) of the American Statistical Association (ASA). We are a relatively small but active group of colleagues from
academia, government, and industry with shared interests in transportation statistics and analytics. And we are looking to grow our numbers, since we think they do not reflect the true interest in transportation statistics across engineering, math, and statistics
disciplines. Please visit our website and consider becoming a member of TSIG by simply emailing me at
<a href="mailto:jchimka@uark.edu">jchimka@uark.edu</a> or <a href="mailto:media.tsig@gmail.com" title="mailto:media.tsig@gmail.com">media.tsig@gmail.com</a>. Also please consider signing our petition for TSIG to become an ASA section (link to the petition is
on our website).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
