TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that investigates community visioning as a method transportation agencies can use to integrate goals into the transportation planning process. Community visioning develops planning and policy exercises that engage community stakeholders in building long-term, consensus frameworks for future decision making. SHRP 2 Report S2-C08-RR-1 : Linking Community Visioning and Highway Capacity Planning explores community visioning...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that explores the software tool, the Work Zone Impacts and Strategies Estimator (WISE). WISE is designed to assist program managers in sequencing programs of projects. In addition, it is designed to help planners and engineers evaluate the impacts of work zones to determine strategies to reduce these impacts. SHRP Renewal Project R11 produced  Strategic Approaches at the Corridor and Network Level to Minimize Disru...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that provides transportation planning agencies with improved tools and methods to accurately and comprehensively integrate transportation investment decision making with land development and growth management. The project produced a decision support software tool and online resources to improve communication, interactions, and partnerships between decision makers and planners in both the transportation and land use arenas.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that describes how travel time reliability monitoring systems can help transportation agencies—especially those with transportation management centers—track performance of their system, understand impacts of various factors that influence travel time variability, provide credible information to system users, and decide on actions that can help improve reliability.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that explores Capacity Project C11: Development of Tools for Assessing Wider Economic Benefits of Transportation. The project addresses the effects that transportation has on business productivity and its potential to enhance reliability, connectivity, and accessibility. The project developed spreadsheet tools for transportation agencies to use to assess specific changes in transportation conditions associated with tran...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that explores the design and construction of new composite pavement systems that could provide longer-lasting facilities with lower life-cycle costs.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP s) has released a project brief that provides an overview of innovative and effective project management strategies and tools transportation agencies can use to help accelerate sound decision making during rapid renewal projects, which were developed by SHRP 2 Renewal Project R10: Project Management Strategies for Complex Projects.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that describes the systematic approach to the practice of risk management for rapid renewal projects that was developed by SHRP 2 Renewal Project R09.

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that provides an overview of three products produced by SHRP 2 Renewal Project R02: Geotechnical Solutions for Soil Improvement, Rapid Embankment Construction, and Stabilization of the Pavement Working Platform. The three products include a web-based tool to disseminate the research results and two reports— Geotechnical Solutions for Soil Improvement, Rapid Embankment Construction, and Stabilization of the Pavement Work...

TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released a project brief that highlights Transportation for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP), a collaborative web-based resource for planning, programming, and developing highway capacity enhancement projects.
