Abstract	It is the policy of the Connecticut Department of Transportation to conduct all research under the general supervision of the Division of Research. It is the purpose of the Division of Research to be aware of new developments, to bring pertinent improvements to the attention of the proper Departmental personnel, and to investigate specific problem areas and offer appropriate solutions. In addition, Research personnel have an operational role in conducting required data- and image-collection activities that describe the condition of the Connecticut transportation system. Research personnel enlist the aid of institutions of higher learning, research organizations, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), industry, and other State Agencies to seek solutions to major problems. Through national, regional and state programs, Connecticut addresses transportation research needs in many subject areas, including: Planning and Administration; Energy and Environment; Transportation Law; Highway and Facility Design; Pavement Design; Management and Performance; Bridge and Other Structure Design and Inspection; Hydraulics and Hydrology; Soils, Geology and Foundations; Materials Testing, Specification and Construction; Maintenance; Highway Operations, Capacity and Traffic Control; Safety and Human Performance; Aviation; Public Transit; Freight and Passenger Rail; Intermodal, Truck, Rail, Water, Pipeline and Marine Transportation. This web site directs the viewer to the area of entry via a site map front page.
