The expertise of our scientists, engineers, and support staff encompasses more than 100 transportation-related disciplines and expertise areas. The laboratories housed at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) provide a vital resource for advancing the body of knowledge to help address national transportation goals. The Federal Highway Administration's Exploratory Advanced Research Program is also managed from the TFHRC research facility.
