National research activities
WisDOT Research pays Transportation Research Board and National
Cooperative Highway Research Program fees every year to enable the
entire department to participate in the selection of more than $30
million of transportation research each year, addressing every
business area of the department. We benefit on an ongoing basis from
the continuous stream of research generated through TRB programs,
publications and other resources.
- Transportation Research Board
Every business area of WisDOT benefits from TRB's
multimillion-dollar annual research program. WisDOT's research
administrator serves as the department's official representative to
TRB. The continuous stream of research products generated through
TRB programs offer immediate and practical solutions to
transportation practitioners. In addition, WisDOT staff and partners
from academia and industry are among the more than 10,000
transportation professionals from around the world who attend the
TRB Annual Meeting each January in Washington, D.C. A number of the
technical papers presented at this meeting are supported through
funding from the WisDOT Research Program.
- National Cooperative Highway Research Program
WisDOT joins other states to cooperatively fund NCHRP at a level of
approximately $30 million per year. NCHRP is an applied research
program focused on operational problems of transportation engineers
and administrators covering a broad range of transportation research
areas. WisDOT has an opportunity to guide project selection and to
oversee individual projects by serving on NCHRP project panels.
