Oversight Committee
The committee will oversee the conduct of the multi-year Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) 2. SHRP 2 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 highway systems 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.
