In February 2010, The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) contracted with the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) at The University of Texas at Austin, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI), and The Center for Multidisciplinary Research in Transportation (TechMRT) at Texas Tech University, to assist TxDOT in developing a Strategic Research Program (SRP). This report documents the work conducted from September 2010 to August 2011. The scope of the proposed SRP is to prepare TxDOT for the transportation challenges likely to be faced in the next 1030 years. The SRP complements the current technical research program by addressing transportation issues that the State Legislature and TxDOT Administration foresee affecting the efficiency and viability of the statewide transportation system. Research recommendations could require legislative action and/or internal departmental adjustments. |
