IMPLEMENTING SHRP PRODUCTS: COORDINATION PAYS OFF

The former manager of the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program of the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) explains in this article how technology transfer and implementation of SHRP products, while seeming to be unplanned and chaotic, was in reality taking place according to well-conceived plans. This planning for implementation began in 1988, about two years after the research effort began, and by the end of 1991 an implementation support structure was in place. The cornerstone of this structure was the cooperative relationship among the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the National Research Council (NRC), and the individual state transportation agencies.
