About Corporate Research and Technology

This site is the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Corporate Research and Technology (R&T) Web site, which advances the Agency's role as Innovators for a Better Future, and links to other research sites that correspond to each program research office.

In 2003, FHWA leadership accepted the challenge to "raise the bar" on R&T and adopted the Corporate Master Plan (CMP) for Research and Deployment of Technology & Innovation (FHWA-RD-03-077), a strategic management framework developed with input from stakeholders. The CMP consists of 7 guiding principles and 26 Agency commitments. FHWA leadership strives continually to improve the R&T program to ensure the appropriate Federal role in exploratory and applied research and to engage stakeholders from the research agenda-setting stage through the impact assessment of innovation delivery.

The goal of this Web site is to provide an integrated and comprehensive picture consistent with FHWA's commitment in the CMP to communicate effectively the FHWA R&T program and projects. For more information about Corporate R&T, use the links above.
