Abstract:

The Executive Committee of the Transportation Research Board, as part of its mission to promote innovation and progress in transportation through research, periodically develops and disseminates a list of critical issues in transportation. The 1997 critical issues have resulted from extensive Executive Committee discussion and reflect the broad perspectives represented by the committee members. The members share the belief that a strong research program is vital to the development and application of new concepts and technologies to help solve the future challenges in transportation. The committee offers the critical issues as a stimulus to policy makers, researchers, and others interested in transportation progress to begin the work needed to move the nation--its people and freight--forward into a new millennium. The committee has identified five critical issues currently deserving of particular emphasis: Mobility and Accessibility; Sustainable Development; Safety and Security; Technological Innovation; and Institutional Roles. The discussion presented in this article raises what the committee believes to be among the most important questions facing the transportation sector in these five areas. These questions are meant to stimulate policy makers, researchers, and the public at large to begin addressing the key challenges that lie ahead.
