Abstract:

As a Congressional Fellow and subsequently a staff member, the author--a transportation researcher and educator--worked for the U.S. House of Representatives' Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which is responsible for federal highway and transit programs. In this article he offers insights into the "policy, process, and politics"; describes the need for communicating the benefits of transportation research; and issues a call for involvement in the legislative arena by transportation professionals.
