AASHTO SCOR/RACThis website is intended as a resource for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standing Committee on Research (SCOR), and its Research Advisory Committee (RAC). AASHTO Technology Information Group (TIG)AASHTO’s Technology Implementation Group – or TIG – scans the horizon for outstanding advancements in transportation technology and invests time and money to accelerate their adoption by agencies nationwide. National Cooperative Highway Research ProgramThe National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) was created in 1962 as a means to conduct research in acute problem areas that affect highway planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance nationwide. National LTAP AssociationThe National Local Technical Assistance Program Association (NLTAPA) is a not-for-profit organization representing and serving the 58 LTAP and TTAP Member-Centers in the United States and Puerto Rico. National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP)NTPEP's purpose is to reduce duplication of effort by State DOTs and participating industry for purposes of product prequalification. The program focuses physical testing resources and expert knowledge to better understand and utilize proprietary, engineered products. Transportation Pooled Fund ProgramThe Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program allows federal, state and local agencies and other organizations to combine resources to support transportation research studies. Transportation Research BoardThe mission of the Transportation Research Board is to provide leadership in transportation innovation and progress through research and information exchange, conducted within a setting that is objective, interdisciplinary and multimodal. TRB Cooperative Research ProgramsTRB Cooperative Research Programs are applied, contract research programs that develop near-term, practical solutions to problems facing transportation agencies. University of Transportation Center (UTC) ProgramU.S. Department of Transportation invests in the future of transportation through its University Transportation Centers Program, which awards grants to universities across the United States to advance the state-of-the-art in transportation research and develop the next generation of transportation professionals.
