Abstract:

This paper presents the results of two panel discussions that focused on the education, training, and research contribution of universities in helping state and regional transportation agencies identify and solve local problems. The panelists identified five areas in which universities can make important contributions-policy making, formal education and training, continuing education, special training programs, and technical assistance. However, universities are facing serious problems in financial support and enrollment that could potentially reduce the role that universities play in helping transportation agencies in the future. In terms of research, the panelists distinguished between long-term (basic) and short-term research, identified a strong need for diversity in problems on which universities can work, discussed the need for continuity of research funding, and outlined the characteristics of a university that make it unique for investigating transportation problems. It was concluded by both panels that a dialogue between the universities and the transportation agencies must be established to ensure better integration of university capabilities into transportation policymaking.
