In 2008, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standing Committee on Research (SCOR) established the forward-looking NCHRP Project 20-83 research series. Published as NCHRP Report 750: Strategic Issues Facing Transportation, the series examines global and domestic long-range, strategic issues and their implications for departments of transportation (DOTs). The series includes 6 reports. Each volume explores fields as varied as freight movement, climate change, technology, sustainability, energy, and socio-demographics and explains how these topics may shape the transportation system of the future. Together, the reports embody the importance of foresight in managing for an uncertain future by giving DOTs a better understanding of the significance and nature of needs or events before they occur. The Foresight 750 Series reports are a resource for decision makers and practitioners interested in the future of the transportation systems they oversee. This brochure provides a snapshot of the reports and highlights some thought-provoking questions about the future of transportation in the next 50 years.
