STRATEGIC PLANNING DOCUMENT (APPENDIX TO CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 9)

This summary of federal transportation research and development priorities was prepared for the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) by the NSTC Interagency Coordinating Committee on Transportation Research and Development (R&D) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The plan reflects the initial efforts of the Committee to assess federal research and to develop long-term R&D programs integrated across agencies in specific transportation-related areas of common interest. It is based primarily on materials developed by the subcommittees and working groups, working within the framework established by the full Committee in its strategic budget guidance report presented to NSTC in April 1994. The purpose of this report is to highlight ongoing federal research efforts in this science and technology field and to identify new and promising areas where there might be gaps in federal support. The report is intended for internal planning purposes within the federal agencies and as a mechanism to convey to the science and technology community the types of research and research priorities being sponsored and considered by the federal agencies. The Clinton Administration is committed to a broad range of high-priority investments (including science and technology), as well as to deficit reduction and to a smaller, more efficient federal government. These commitments have created a very challenging budget environment--requiring difficult decisions and a well thought out strategy to ensure the best return for the nation's taxpayers. As part of this strategy, this document does not represent the final determinant in an overall Administration budget decision-making process. The research programs presented in this report will have to compete for resources against many other high-priority federal programs.
