Implementation Assistance Program

The second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) was developed to help transportation professionals save time, money, and lives. To date, more than 700 volunteers have contributed to the program, and each one of the more than 100 research projects evolved from a pressing need identified by State and local transportation professionals. From the results of this research comes a series of products, called SHRP2 Solutions.

The Implementation Assistance Program is available to help State departments of transportation (DOTs), metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), and other interested organizations participate in the deployment of SHRP2 Solutions. In this first round, six products have been selected for implementation opportunities.

Detailed information about implementation is available for each product below by following the Apply link. There is also contact information for the key contact for each product on the product application page. Additionally, in the next few days a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section will be added to this site. This FAQ will address commonly asked questions about participation in the Implementation Assistance Program for SHRP2. Look for it soon.

Information also is available on the following Web pages: AASHTO SHRP2 Solutions; and TRB SHRP2.
