Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Impacts on Practice

ACRP’s Impacts on Practice series is designed to provide examples of how airport industry practitioners are using ACRP research results to assist them in their work. The goal of the Airport Cooperative Research Program is to provide well-researched, useful publications that can contribute to the growth and development of the nation's airport industry. ACRP publications can help improve airport administrative practices, develop safer and more effective operational techniques, and increase performance efficiency.

To help gauge the program's value, the Transportation Research Board seeks examples on how airport industry practitioners are using ACRP research results to assist in work activities.  If you have used an ACRP publication or are aware of an Impact on Practice please share your experience with us.
