National Cooperative Highway Research Program: The principal goal of the proposed Agreement is to provide funding to TRB, collected by FHWA from the State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), to support the administration and research activities of the NCHRP, with an increased emphasis on implementation of research results. The TRB will administer and conduct research on various topics selected under the NCHRP, after projects are approved annually by the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Special Committee on Research and Innovation (R&I). The proposed Cooperative Agreement will enable the States to continue to leverage their research dollars by collaborating in an array of nationally-focused research projects, with an increased emphasis on implementation of research results. Research areas under this agreement will include: (1) highway planning, financing, and administration; (2) highway and bridge design, materials, construction, roadside development and barrier systems; and (3) traffic operations and control, illuminations and visibility, traffic planning, and safety. The results of this research will be used by the States, the transportation community in general, and FHWA to maintain and improve the Nation's highway infrastructure and promote highway safety.
