The Wisconsin Highway Research Program (WHRP) is focused on projects to improve the state's highways. WHRP is managed through a partnership with the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The Policy Research Program addresses non-engineering issues such as planning, operations and safety. New Product research funding supports statewide quality assurance and materials testing. The Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program allows federal, state, and local agencies and other organizations to combine resources to support transportation research studies. The WisDOT research program allocated funds to 41 TPF projects in FFY 2013. Wisconsin was the lead state on three pooled fund projects. The Research Program funds technology transfer activities and library services to coordinate dissemination of research. Funds for WisDOT's Materials Management Section (MMS) technology transfer activities are also included in the research program. Efficient management of the program contributes to continuous performance improvement. |
