Oversight Committee for the Strategic Highway Research Program 2
Scope: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) will manage a multi-year Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) II. SHRP II will focus on applied research in the following areas: (1) accelerating the renewal of America's highways; (2) making a significant improvement in highway safety; (3) providing a highway system with reliable travel times; and (4) providing highway capacity in support of the nation's economic, environmental, and social goals. TRB will administer this research program using procedures similar to those employed in the first SHRP program, carried out from 1987 to 1993, and in the existing Cooperative Research Programs to provide for competitive, merit-based selection of research contractors, research project oversight, and dissemination of research results.
