Research, Development, and Technology - FY 2002/2003 Performance Plan

ACTION AGENDA 2002/2003

One of the strategies for the RD&T Leadership Council is to "create, maintain, and advance a Council Action Agenda with specific tasks, schedules, and assigned responsibilities." The Action Agenda is a dynamic document which is updated as items are initiated, advanced, and are accomplished. Action Items are documented in one-page descriptions which provide key information on the initiative. The Action Agenda is not all inclusive of strategic activities in which RD&T is engaged, but rather includes selected items of significant impact across RD&T and/or FHWA for which we have a direct responsibility and are held accountable. In addition, short-term Council efforts resulting in products or accomplishments are documented as part of this Agenda.

Contents
The organization of this Action Agenda is aligned to the strategy categories defined for the Leadership Council.
