Individual TRRs, which are published on an irregular basis throughout the year, consist of collections of peer-reviewed papers on specific transportation subject areas and modes.  TRB's TRR Online service allows all visitors to identify papers of interest and review abstracts of those papers.  Access to the full papers is available to service subscribers and employees of TRB sponsors.  Papers may also be purchased on an individual basis.

Printed copies of TRR Journals may also be purchased on an annual subscription basis.  Each year, TRB publishes approximately 45 volumes of the TRR Journal, containing more than 800 papers grouped by subject.
