RFP: Virtual Public Involvement: A Manual for Effective, Equitable, and Efficient Practices for Transportation Agencies
February 10, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to (1) evaluate the recent experience of transportation agencies in using virtual public involvement with a particular focus on equity; and (2) develop a manual for selecting, creating, and using virtual public involvement tools and techniques for each phase of transportation decision-making process. Proposals are due February 10, 2021 by 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Transitioning Fuel Tax Assessments to a Road Usage Charge
February 17, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to evaluate and present viable paths and strategies for implementing road usage charging at the state, multi-state, and regional levels that generate revenues that could supplement, and/or may ultimately replace, motor fuel taxes as the primary funding source for surface transportation. Proposals are due February 17, 2021 by 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Traffic Safety Culture Research Roadmap
February 18, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to
(1) Identify traffic safety culture (TSC) research questions, gaps, and stakeholders
(2) Produce a prioritized TSC research roadmap with stakeholder input that includes fully developed research problem statements
(3) Develop a communication plan to disseminate the research roadmap
(4) Develop a process management plan to systematically revisit research priorities to guide research and ensure its future relevancy.

Proposals are due February 18, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Improving Public Transportation in Rural Areas and Tribal Communities
February 24, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) and Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) have jointly issued a request for proposals to produce a guidebook on how to initiate new and enhance existing rural and tribal public transportation services that improve mobility and accessibility. The guidebook should promote practices that are responsive to customers and aid transit providers in improving efficiency and effectiveness. The guidebook should also help transit providers better leverage and coordinate resources, comply with federal requirements, and adopt appropriate emerging technologies.

Proposals are due March 16, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Design Guide and Standards for Infrastructure Resilience
February 24, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to
(1) briefly summarize how extreme weather events, long-term climate changes, and climate resilience impact transportation project delivery, infrastructure life-cycles, and asset management practices
(2) identify current and projected future climate variables to be considered during the design of transportation projects to increase resilience
(3) develop recommendations for updating design processes that include consideration of extreme weather events and increase resilience to climate impacts
(4) develop a project delivery climate change resilience design guide.

Proposals are due February 24, 2021.

RFP: Maximizing Proceeds from the Fleet Asset Disposal Sales Process
February 25, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to develop a manual for state department of transportation fleet managers for selecting effective strategies for preparing, marketing, and selling surplus equipment and vehicles to maximize proceeds. The manual will be accompanied by a decision support matrix with a graphical presentation of options and considerations for the disposal sales process to guide the selection of specific strategies. Proposals are due February 25, 2021 by 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Research Roadmap for Knowledge Management
March 2, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to develop a research roadmap for knowledge management in state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other transportation agencies. The roadmap shall be designed to systematically revisit research priorities to guide research and ensure its future relevancy.
Proposals are due March 2, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Development of the 8th Edition of AASHTO's A Policy on the Geometric Design of Highways and Streets
March 2, 2021

Proposals are due March 18, 2020 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

RFP: Considering Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change in Environmental Reviews: Resources for State DOTs
March 11, 2021
TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has released a request for proposals to develop and pilot a handbook for state departments of transportation (DOTs) with resources and approaches for addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and climate change impacts in environmental reviews. Proposals are due March 11, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

Propose New Topics for the 2021 TCRP Synthesis Program: Submissions due March 19
March 19, 2021
TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) is seeking potential synthesis study topics for the 2021 TCRP Synthesis Program.

TCRP will fund seven (7) new synthesis topics. Anyone may propose topics.

A synthesis study documents current practice and experience for specific public transportation topics.  The following factors are considered in the selection process for new topics.
  • The objective of the scope of work is to document current practices in public transportation and/or public transit agencies
  • The synthesis documents current practice, not best practice; it is not a research project or a guidebook
  • The topic addresses an area of practice that is widespread and of general interest to public transit and/ or public transportation
  • The topic should be timely and critical for expediting delivery, improving the quality, or lowering the cost of programs
A newSynthesis Topic Outline offers guidance in creating a topic. Topics must be submitted through the TCRP Synthesis Topic Submission Portal by March 19, 2021.

For questions, please contact Mariela Garcia-Colberg at mgarciacolberg@nas.edu.
