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.
