 Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of

evelopment, and Technology (RD&T) is

to 7 offices with 15 teams of experts in more

sportation-related disciplines. Three research

ment (R&D) offices—Operations, Safety, and

e—conduct R&D to continually improve high

ons and Intelligent Transportation Systems

 and infrastructure, respectively. The Office of

velopment and Evaluation develops and

licy, budget, program management, and

ve mechanisms to help FHWA carry out a

esearch and technology (R&T) program. The

search and Technology Services develops

es a comprehensive RD&T communications

d marketing plan that supports FHWA R&T

nd technology transfer and delivery. The

source Management provides administrative

RD&T.

manages the FHWA R&T Program, which

ports the goals of the U.S. Department of

on (USDOT) to invest strategically in trans

rastructure, promote safe and secure

on, enhance our environment, and create

new alliances between the Nation’s transportation andtechnology industries. The proposed Office ofCorporate Research and Technology will support theFHWA R&T Program.In virtually everything we do, we coordinate and/or collaborate extensively with other FHWA and DOT offices,State and local government partners, academic organizations, companies in the industry, military researchoffices, and professional organizations. In an effort toinvolve stakeholders and partners, and improve RD&T,FHWA is implementing a Corporate Master Plan thatcenters around Agency commitments and principles. See RD&T fiscal year (FY) 2003 product and servicedescriptions and year-end statuses in the Office ofResearch, Development, and Technology FY 2004Performance Report. Find a listing and descriptions of

FY 2004–05 products and services in the RD&T FY2004/2005 Performance Plan. The performance planand report are available on the Turner-Fairbank HighwayResearch Center (TFHRC) Web site (www.tfhrc.gov). We are proud of our contributions, products, and services that quickly and cost-effectively accelerate and transform new technologies and concepts into better transportation systems, processes, and services. With ourpartners, we improve our national quality of life. To besuccessful, we must respond to the needs of ournational transportation system and its users—society atlarge. We meet the challenge by constantly emphasizingand demonstrating innovation.
