TRB Legal Program - TCRP

TCRP PROJECT: LEGAL ASPECTS OF TRANSIT AND INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION

From the inception of TCRP, the consensus was that it should include a continuing legal research component. As stated in the initial program statement, "the nation's mass transit agencies need to have access to a program that can provide authoritatively researched, specific, limited-scope studies of legal issues and problems having national significance and application to their problems." The transit law project was initially approved by the Transit Oversight and Project Selection Committee in July 1992 and has continued since that date. See TCRP Legal Research Digest for a list of the digests published by this project.
