Introduced on September 30, 2005, the Federal Transit Administrations (FTAs) Strategic Research Plan set forth FTAs five new Strategic Research Goals. Placed first among these Goals, at the request of the Transportation Research Boards Transit Research Analysis Committee is for FTA to Provide Transit Research Leadership. In support of this goal we present FTAs Annual Research Report for fiscal year (FY) 2007. Like last years report, this report highlights many of the achievements FTA has made this past year in support of our strategic research vision to Deliver Solutions that Improve Public Transportation. Also like last years report, this report is organized by goal area and describes our accomplishments in the following areas: Provide Transit Research Leadership (Goal 1); Increase Transit Ridership (Goal 2); Improve Capital & Operating Efficiencies (Goal 3); Improve Safety & Emergency Preparedness (Goal 4); and Protect the Environment & Promote Energy Independence (Goal 5). |
