TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) has issued a request for proposals to
(1) develop a register of risks to state and local transportation agencies and their constituents posed by the emerging technologies of Connected and Automated vehicles, electric vehicles, Mobility on Demand/Mobility as a Service, and Advanced Air Mobility,
(2) recommend approaches agencies can use to prioritize those risks, and
(3) identify policies and actions to address the risks along with the potential impacts of those policies and actions.

Proposals are due March 4, 2021 at 5:00 PM Eastern.

Propose New Topics for the 2021 TCRP Synthesis Program: Submissions due March 19
March 19, 2021
TRB's Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) is seeking potential synthesis study topics for the 2021 TCRP Synthesis Program.

TCRP will fund seven (7) new synthesis topics. Anyone may propose topics.

A synthesis study documents current practice and experience for specific public transportation topics.  The following factors are considered in the selection process for new topics.
  • The objective of the scope of work is to document current practices in public transportation and/or public transit agencies
  • The synthesis documents current practice, not best practice; it is not a research project or a guidebook
  • The topic addresses an area of practice that is widespread and of general interest to public transit and/ or public transportation
  • The topic should be timely and critical for expediting delivery, improving the quality, or lowering the cost of programs
A newSynthesis Topic Outline offers guidance in creating a topic. Topics must be submitted through the TCRP Synthesis Topic Submission Portal by March 19, 2021.

For questions, please contact Mariela Garcia-Colberg at mgarciacolberg@nas.edu.
