Strategic Highway Research Program
SHRP 2
Accelerating solutions for highway safety, renewal, reliability, and capacity
Congress established the second strategic highway research program (SHRP 2) in 2006 to investigate the underlying causes of highway crashes and congestion in a short-term program of focused research. To carry out that investigation, SHRP 2 targets goals in four interrelated focus areas:
Safety: Significantly improve highway safety by understanding driving behavior in a study of unprecedented scale
Renewal: Develop design and construction methods that cause minimal disruption and produce long-lived facilities to renew the aging highway infrastructure
Reliability: Reduce congestion and improve travel time reliability through incident management, response, and mitigation
 Capacity: Integrate mobility, economic, environmental, and community needs into the planning and design of new transportation capacity
