Rebuilding and Retrofitting the Transportation Infrastructure

TRB's E-Circular 228: Rebuilding and Retrofitting the Transportation Infrastructure documents the presentations from a conference of the same name held in Washington, D.C., in September 2017. This meeting was the 11th in a series of Spotlight Conferences funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, University Transportation Centers (UTC) Program. This event provided an opportunity to share ideas and needs about transportation infrastructure and to explore opportunities to enhance transportation performance, offering an interactive format to engage in productive dialogue. It brought together those who generate new concepts and address transportation problems and opportunities and those who own and manage transportation systems. The conference, which was characterized by broad and active participation and discussion, considered potential research to address issues associated with rebuilding and retrofitting transportation infrastructure.
