Research Needs Statement (RNS)

An important function of TRB is to stimulate research that addresses concerns, issues, or problems facing the transportation community. In support of this function, TRB Technical Activities standing committees identify, develop, and disseminate RNS for use by practitioners, researchers, and others.  The TRB RNS database can be accessed via http://rns.trb.org/
