Section 508 of the 2012 surface transportation authorization statute, as amended by Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP 21), requires the U.S. DOT to develop a 5-year strategic plan for federal transportation RD&T that describes the primary purposes, topics, expected outcomes, and anticipated funding of RD&T. The committee’s letter report presents the results of its review of the draft RD&T plan. The report includes both short- and long-term recommendations; the former apply to the current plan and the latter to future strategic plans.
