TRB Publications

To fulfill one of its oldest missions, TRB disseminates transportation research results and technology information through an extensive array of publications. These include books and reports assessing the state of the art or practice in specific areas of transportation, presenting the results of transportation research, addressing major national transportation policy issues, and identifying research needs. TRB books and reports span the range of transportation functions, disciplines, and modes. To search for publications produced by TRB since 1923, visit TRB's Publications Index website. To purchase a TRB publication, visit TRB's online bookstore. TRB publications can be browsed by series or by subject areas.

TRB produces and distributes about 200 publications annually. Most of the printed publications are also available electronically through the TRB website. The following are the major publications series:

r_arrow Transportation Research Records: Journal of the Transportation Research Board contain technical papers that have been accepted for publication through a rigorous peer-review process refereed by TRB technical committees.
r_arrow Special Reports present the results of policy studies, including studies mandated by Congress or requested by executive-branch federal agencies. These studies are conducted by expert committees appointed by the National Research Council (NRC).
r_arrow Cooperative Research Program (CRP) Reports, Syntheses of Practice, Research Results Digests, Web-Only Documents, and Legal Research Digests contain the findings of individual research projects sponsored by TRB's Cooperative Research Programs.  Syntheses of Practice are also published for the Commercial Truck and Bus Safety Synthesis Program.
r_arrow Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP 2) Reports, Project Briefs, Program Briefs, and Quarterly newsletter include the findings of individual research projects as well as updates on ongoing activity within SHRP 2.

r_arrow Transportation Research Circulars present technical material considered to be of immediate interest to the transportation community.

In addition, TRB issues a variety of other publications, ranging from the Highway Capacity Manual to general-interest periodicals. TR News, the Board’s bimonthly magazine with an international circulation of 10,000, features timely articles on innovative and state-of-the-art research and practice in all modes of transportation. Ignition, issued quarterly, contains news of the Innovations Deserving Exploratory Analysis (IDEA) programs.
