TRANSIT COOPERATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM
Sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration, the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) serves as one of the principal means by which the public transportation industry can develop innovative near-term solutions to meet demands placed on it. The TCRP has an established reputation for providing useful reports and other tools to help public transportation practitioners solve problems and inform decision makers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
TCRP On The Go
Avid podcast listener? Check out Transit Research Today the official podcast of the Transportation Research Program. Organized by APTA, each episode is hosted by one of our very own Senior Program Officers in conversation with the research team of a recently published TCRP report providing an in-depth look at the research as well as on the ground experiences.
The TRB's parent organization—the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—has recently reviewed its policies regarding conflict of interest. To ensure that we are compliant with these policies, TRB’s Cooperative Research Programs have revised and updated our own conflict of interest guidelines for members of panels, oversight committees, and contractors. Please review the Conflict of Interest Resource Page to see these revisions.
Requests For Proposals (RFPs)
RFPs for new research projects are here!
TCRP has released its annual report, which provides background and an overview of the program, status of each of TCRP’s projects, and a summary of some of the program's accomplishments for the year.
In celebration of 30 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the TCRP has curated a list of resources that address public transportation for older people and people with disabilities, specialized transit, service configuration, service delivery, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other areas relevant to the ADA and public transportation.

PUBLICATIONS SERIES
Research Reports are the main products of research projects and are often written as guidebooks or manuals. Supplemental project material—such as appendixes, which describe technical details, information-gathering activities, or survey instruments; glossaries; and bibliographies—is posted on the Research Report web page.
Syntheses are compendiums of the best knowledge available on measures found to be successful in resolving specific problems. To develop Syntheses in a comprehensive manner and to ensure inclusion of significant knowledge, available information assembled from numerous sources, including numerous transit agencies, is analyzed. Each Synthesis is an immediately useful document that records practices in use at the time of its preparation.
Legal Research Digests report on timely legal issues, compile case law, or recommend specific solutions to specific problems.
Web-Only Documents are fully searchable PDFs of contractor-prepared reports or supporting appendix materials. Web-Only Documents are linked to other related project products, as well as to the relevant project write-ups.
Research Results Digests are used to promote early awareness of project results in order to encourage implementation. Research Results Digests also summarize specific findings that emphasize how the research may be used. The contents are organized in terms of the problem and the solution to the problem, the findings, and the applications.
