Title: NCHRP: LEVERAGING RESOURCES FOR BETTER TRANSPORTATION
Accession Number: 00977101
Record Type: Monograph
Abstract: Because of the dynamic nature of U.S. transportation systems, state departments of transportation (DOTs) are always facing new, usually complex challenges. In response, the states turn to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) to focus some of the best minds in transportation on collaborative research that leads to far-reaching solutions. NCHRP concentrates on the nation's critical transportation issues, producing research findings that guide practice in U.S. transportation and that result in safer roads, easier travel, and substantial savings of taxpayer dollars. This brochure takes a close look at the NCHRP, which, since its inception in 1962, has delivered research findings and recommendations that make a difference. NCHRP plays a key role in developing essential tools of the trade, such as the Highway Capacity Manual, that continue to provide the United States with the world's best transportation system.
