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 Solicits New Problem Statements
The purpose of this announcement is to solicit problem statements identifying research needs for the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), Fiscal Year 2020 Program. Problem Statements are due June 28, 2019. Click here for more information.

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.

This webinar presents the findings of TCRP Research Report 204: Partnerships Between Transit Agencies and Transportation Network Companies (TNCs). This research is designed to help transit agencies that have decided to pursue partnerships with one or more TNCs. This report draws from twenty case study partnerships explored or implemented by early 2018 in order to provide information on where, when, and how partnerships between transit agencies and TNCs may be considered and pursued. While partnerships between transit agencies and private mobility providers are not new, partnerships with TNCs create unique opportunities and challenges as both parties work toward mutually beneficial program models.

This webinar presents the findings of TCRP Synthesis 143: Managing the Transit Scheduling Workforce. Transit schedules provide the blueprint for fixed-route transit—they affect operating and capital costs, safety, customer satisfaction, and operator well-being and health. Although scheduling has moved from a largely paper-based practice to one that now uses purpose-built scheduling software and utilizes data collected from automated systems, transit scheduling is still a human process that is merely assisted by software and data.
