| 摘要： | The Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act of 2004 was signed into law by President Bush on November 30, 2004. It embodies Secretary Minetas vision of a Department-wide resource to guide the coordination and management of research, development, and technology (RD&T) activities. The Act dissolves the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), creating in its stead two separate administrations: the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA). This document responds to Section 4(g) of the Act, which requires the RITA Administrator to submit a Report to Congress on DOTs current and projected RD&T priorities. This report was developed with broad stakeholder input obtained through a special session at the Transportation Research Board (TRB) annual meeting, a Federal Register notice, and a dedicated email address for receiving responses. It also considers the RD&T contributions of other organizations and addresses methods to avoid unnecessary duplication. In preparing this report, RITA recognizes that the legislative effort to reauthorize the surface transportation program, which is now taking place in Congress, will give additional guidance and funding authorization to DOTs Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Federal Transit Administration (FTA), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and some portions of RITA. As such, the planning activities and processes described in this document are subject to change and refinement, and will reflect the directions provided by Congress when the legislation is enacted. The remaining sections of this report are as follows: Section 2; RITAs vision, mission, goals, and strategies; Section 3: RD&T priorities and purposes for 2003-2008 that guide DOT research and the FY 2006 programs that support them; Section 4: Crosscutting RD&T coordination and planning processes, including collaborative efforts with other agencies and stakeholders; and Section 5: Conclusion. |
