Strategic Highway
Research Program
The Strategic Highway Research Program
(SHRP) was established by Congress in
1987 as a 5-year, $150 million
research program to improve the performance
and durability of our Nation's highways and
to make them safer for motorists and highway
workers. As a follow-on program to SHRP,
Congress established in the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 programs to
implement SHRP products and to continue SHRP's long-term
pavement performance (LTPP) program.
FHWA is taking the lead in this effort through its
SHRP Product Implementation Program and its adoption of
SHRP's LTPP program.
