Renewal: Rapid and less disruptive methods for long-lasting facilities
Capacity: Collaborating to deliver needed projects faster
Reliability: Operating a more reliable, less-congested system
Generating Innovative Methods and Generating Innovative Methods and Tools in Four AreasTools in Four Areas
Safety: Reducing crashes, saving lives
Why is SHRP 2 Important?Why is SHRP 2 Important?Simply put: It has the potential to change the way state departments of transportation do businessBy providing new research-based tools
and innovative approaches that will better enable us to stretch state and federal investments of taxpayer dollars
And new thinking about what we do and how we do it
