On September 19, 2012, TRB’s Committee on Implementing the Research Results of the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) sent its second letter report to Victor Mendez, administrator of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and John Horsley, executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
The committee is charged with providing policy and technical advice to the U.S. Department of Transportation and AASHTO on recommended strategies for introducing the results of SHRP 2 into the knowledge base and the active practice of transportation engineers, planners, traffic managers, and other potential users.
The report includes recommendations on developing details for the concept plan for SHRP 2 implementation, for the strategic and individual product marketing and communications plans, and for the information technology plan. The report also calls on FHWA and AASHTO to agree to a governance structure for the Transportation for Communities: Advancing Projects through Partnerships.
