Sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration, the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) serves as one of the principal means by which the public transportation industry can develop innovative near-term solutions to meet demands placed on it. The TCRP has an established reputation for providing useful reports and other tools to help public transportation practitioners solve problems and inform decision makers.


ANNOUNCEMENTS

TCRP's Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Response

We have begun our transition to a hybrid work environment, dividing our work between home and office and scheduling in-person meetings at our facilities in Washington, D.C. and Irvine, California. While it is still important to take precautions, we are all appreciating the opportunity to see our friends, colleagues, contractors, and volunteers face to face once again. Staff wish to thank everyone who helped keep our programs running smoothly over the past two years.

For more information, please contact Chris Hedges (Director, CRP) at chedges@nas.edu.


Call for TCRP Synthesis Topics

TCRP is seeking potential synthesis study topics for the 2023 TCRP Synthesis Program. Topics may be submitted at any time; however, the deadline for the upcoming submission cycle is March 24, 2023. All proposals for topics must be submitted through the TCRP Synthesis Topic Submission Portal.

Review the updated CRP Conflict of Interest page

The TRB's parent organization—the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine—has recently reviewed its policies regarding conflict of interest. To ensure that we are compliant with these policies, TRB’s Cooperative Research Programs have revised and updated our own conflict of interest guidelines for members of panels, oversight committees, and contractors. Please review the Conflict of Interest Resource Page to see these revisions.

FY 2023 TCRP Project Announcement

The TOPS Commission met on November 4, 2022, and approved new projects for Fiscal Year 2023. The descriptions of those FY 2023 projects for which RFPs are expected to be issued can be found here. When active, RFPs will be made available online on the TCRP Website.

TCRP Insight Event Recordings Available!

The TCRP Insight Event: Air Quality in Transit Buses was an in-depth, virtual gathering designed to explore how air quality inside transit vehicles, specifically buses, may contribute to the spread of infections, including COVID-19. During this two-afternoon event in June 2022, participants heard from an interactive panel on the intersection of transit air quality and mitigation of transmission risks of infectious diseases. The event featured speakers from transit organizations, academia, the federal government, and private industry. All session recordings are available here.All session presentations are available here.

Submit a Research Problem Statement to TCRP

Help solve a problem facing public transportation agencies by submitting a problem statement for potential TCRP Research! See our tutorial video on how to prepare and submit a Research Problem Statement here.

TCRP On The Go

Avid podcast listener? Check out Transit Research Today the official podcast of the Transportation Research Program. Organized by APTA, each episode is hosted by one of our very own Senior Program Officers in conversation with the research team of a recently published TCRP report providing an in-depth look at the research as well as on the ground experiences.

TCRP 2022 Annual Report of Progress

TCRP has released its annual report, which provides background and an overview of the program, status of each of TCRP’s projects, and a summary of some of the program's accomplishments for the year.

New TCRP Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Resources

In celebration of 30 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the TCRP has curated a list of resources that address public transportation for older people and people with disabilities, specialized transit, service configuration, service delivery, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other areas relevant to the ADA and public transportation.

PUBLICATIONS SERIES

Reports

Research Reports

Research Reports are the main products of research projects and are often written as guidebooks or manuals. Supplemental project material—such as appendixes, which describe technical details, information-gathering activities, or survey instruments; glossaries; and bibliographies—is posted on the Research Report web page.


Syntheses

Syntheses

Syntheses are compendiums of the best knowledge available on measures found to be successful in resolving specific problems. To develop Syntheses in a comprehensive manner and to ensure inclusion of significant knowledge, available information assembled from numerous sources, including numerous transit agencies, is analyzed. Each Synthesis is an immediately useful document that records practices in use at the time of its preparation.


Legal Digests

Legal Research Digests

Legal Research Digests report on timely legal issues, compile case law, or recommend specific solutions to specific problems.


Web-Only Documents

Web-Only Documents

Web-Only Documents are fully searchable PDFs of contractor-prepared reports or supporting appendix materials. Web-Only Documents are linked to other related project products, as well as to the relevant project write-ups.


Research Results Digests

Research Results Digests

Research Results Digests are used to promote early awareness of project results in order to encourage implementation. Research Results Digests also summarize specific findings that emphasize how the research may be used. The contents are organized in terms of the problem and the solution to the problem, the findings, and the applications.
