Transformational, or “disruptive” technologies, are those that can be expected to completely displace the status quo, forever changing the way we live
and work.
TRB Hot Topic: TRANSFORMATIONAL
TECHNOLOGIES
![Page 9: 2015 AASHTO RAC/ TRB State Reps Annual Meeting July 13, 2015.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5697bf9c1a28abf838c93616/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

sensationalism or extremes• Mechanism for coordinating & sharing research

Communications Questions
•Should CRP program budgets set aside some additional $ for communications & implementation, even if it means fewer projects could be funded?•How many of you now rely primarily on the
“Electronic First” option to provide your state DOT employees with access to TRB publications?•Should TRB consider eliminating hard paper copies
of CRP and other TRB publications?–If so, when?
