TRB's Transit Research Analysis Committee (TRAC) has delivered a letter report to Mr. Vincent Valdes, Associate Administrator for Research, Demonstration, and Innovation at the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The April 12, 2019 letter report provides feedback to FTA on its innovation initiatives that are a focus of the administration’s research plan. TRAC, an interdisciplinary committee of experts from industry, academia, and the private and public sectors, examines and recommends actions FTA can take to ensure that its research and innovation program is relevant, timely, and effective in meeting the diverse and changing needs of the public transportation community. This letter report serves two purposes: it provides TRAC’s initial observations from a joint meeting with TRB’s Research and Technology Coordinating Committee (RTCC) about potentially promising areas for more research coordination by FTA and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and it responds to questions raised by Valdes and his staff during a FTA-specific briefing.
