News for You

Highway professionals face challenges that others may have already tackled. TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program's synthesis program collects, evaluates, and disseminates fragmented or unevaluated information to support informed decision-making across the highway community. Employees of state departments of transportation, AASHTO staff on behalf of AASHTO committees or councils, and employees of the Federal Highway Administration can submit their problem statements for possible future NCHRP synthesis projects by June 15.
