FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION'S INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER PROGRAM

Transportation professionals and organizations worldwide require information and knowledge that will enable them to advance their processes, incorporate innovative products into current programs, improve cost efficiency, and increase technical know-how that results in positive change and impact on transportation systems. A technology transfer program that can systematically and actively facilitate the acquisition and dissemination of technology, practice and policy knowledge, and know-how from around the world would be beneficial. The focus of this paper is on the U.S. Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) International Technology Transfer Program. It addresses technology transfer as it exists today in the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean, central Europe, Southern Africa Development Community, and South Korea; FHWA supports establishing technology transfer centers and the development of a global technology transfer network.
