TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) has released the latest issue of its quarterly newsletter designed to keep stakeholders up to date on activities taking place within the SHRP 2 program. This issue covers expanded research opportunities within SHRP 2, the July SHRP 2 Safety Symposium, the recent round of request for proposals, the First Fruits report series, and the safety “rodeo” equipment evaluation held in September.
