On August 18, 2014, TRB’s Committee on Implementing the Research Results of the Second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) sent its sixth letter report to Gregory Nadeau, acting administrator of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and Bud Wright, 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 commends the FHWA and AASHTO for responding to recommendations contained in the last letter report. The latest report includes six recommendations to the FHWA and AASHTO in the areas of rapidly moving products to implementation; keeping products updated; hosting and maintaining information technology products; broadening the audience for marketing products; timely establishment of an evaluation process for products; and sharing lessons learned on the implementation of process-related products.
