Imagine the Possibilities

Innovations are available to transportation agencies through a variety of programs, including SHRP2 and EDC2. These innovations:

• May be applied individually or in combination with products from different programs.

• Are easy to learn more about through Websites, Webinars, demonstrations, and peer-to-peer programs.

• Are supported by funding and assistance opportunities that can help your agency quickly and confidently apply innovations to current challenges.

3


State-Based Transportation Innovation Councils

• Provides state-based leadership for the innovation strategies and solutions

• Helps facilitate deployment of innovation initiatives

• Engages all the key stakeholders in a state

4


What is SHRP2?(Second Strategic Highway Research Program)

• Products developed from objective, credible research

• Solutions that respond to transportation community challenges – safety, aging infrastructure, congestion

• Tested products, refined in the field

Save lives. Save money. Save time.

SHRP2 Solutions offer new technologies and processes to enhance the efficiency of transportation agencies

5


Why is SHRP2 Important?

SHRP2 Solutions have the power to change the way transportation agencies do business.

Tools for the Road Ahead

By providing new research-based tools and innovative products and processes…

That will create more efficiencies and a smarter use of state and federal investments of taxpayer dollars.

6


Safety: fostering safer driving through analysis of driver, roadway, and vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, and ordinary driving

Renewal: rapid maintenance and repair of the deteriorating infrastructure using already-available resources, innovations, and technologies

Capacity: planning and designing a highway system that offers minimum disruption and meets the environmental and economic needs of the community

Reliability: reducing congestion and creating more predictable travel times through better operations
