Abstract:

As part of its mission to stimulate and disseminate transportation research, the Executive Committee of the Transportation Research Board periodically develops and publishes a list of critical issues in transportation. Critical issues are defined as important unresolved aspects of transportation that are national in scope, on which there are a wide variety of viewpoints, for which the impacts of possible actions are uncertain, and for which decisions will be made at the policy level. Current critical issues identified by the Executive Committee are the following: Sustainable transportation; Institutional and legal reform; Technology; System management; Safety; Intermodal issues; International issues; Quality; Human resources; and Finance. This article discusses each of these issues in turn, outlining its scope, pointing out the areas of concern, and pinpointing the key questions that need to be answered.
