TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS

As part of the continuing reevaluation of the priorities of transportation decision-makers, the Office of R and D Policy (OST) has undertaken a study to determine the transportation technical assistance needs of the various user groups in the infrastructure. This determination was based on four independent studies: (1) TSC Technology Sharing surveys, (2) the report of the OMB Study Committee on Policy Management Assistance, (3) Urban Consortium for Technology Initiatives needs determination, and (4) the National Conference of State Legislatures survey. The analysis of these needs determinations was stratified to identify those needs peculiar to each of three user groups: (1) policy, (2) planning and evaluation, and (3) operations. The relationship of the needs to both the public management processes and Federal transportation policy are presented.
