In June 1998, the U.S. Congress passed the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21). This bill, which reauthorized the federal-aid highway program, called for the Transportation Research Board (TRB) "to conduct a study to determine the goals, purposes, research agenda, and projects, administrative structure, and fiscal needs for a new strategic highway research program." This congressional request was prompted by the success of an earlier Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) and led to a proposal for a future Strategic Highway Research Program (F-SHRP), which is summarized in this report.
