Center for Transportation Analysis
The Center for Transportation Analysis (CTA) in the Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducts innovative, cost-effective research and development on transportation energy and environmental issues, national transportation planning and policy, transportation systems engineering, and military transportation and logistics; CTA focuses on multimodal national and international transportation systems.
Civil Engineering Research Foundation (CERF)
CERF works together with all organizations involved in civil engineering-related research activities to establish a national research agenda that meets the needs of the profession and the nation, minimizing duplication between organizational entities, and ensuring that all research gaps are addressed.
Federal Highway Administration
The vision of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is to create the best transportation system in the world for the American people through proactive leadership, innovation, and excellence in service. We also provide expertise, resources, and information to continually improve the quality of our nation's highway system and its intermodal connections. We undertake this mission in cooperation with all of our partners to enhance the country's economic vitality, quality of life, and the environment.
International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) database
The International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) database is a bibliographic database containing citations to the worldwide literature, current research projects, and computer programs on all aspects of road research, transport, and traffic planning.
LTAP T2 Clearinghouse
LTAP.org has been established to provide transportation professionals, students, and the interested public with access to transportation-related technology, products, and information.
Material Science & Engineering Laboratory
Mission: MSEL works with industry, standards bodies, universities, and other government laboratories, to improve the nation's measurements and standards infrastructure for materials.
National Center for Asphalt Technologies (NCAT) Website
The National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT) was created in 1986 through an agreement between the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) Education Foundation and Auburn University. The visionary leadership of dozens of individuals, in conjunction with companies associated with the Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) industry, large and small, brought about this joint venture at a truly appropriate time.

TRB RIP - Research in Progress
The Research In Progress (RiP) Database contains about 6,600 records of current or recently completed transportation research projects. Each month about 100 new RiP projects are added to the database and another 150 RIP records are updated. Most of the RiP records are projects funded by Federal and State Departments of Transportation. University transportation research is also included. In 1998, the Transportation Association of Canada began supplying records from its Canadian Surface Transportation Research Database for RIP.
TRID
TRID is a newly integrated database that combines the records from TRB's Transportation Research Information Services (TRIS) Database and the OECD's Joint Transport Research Centre’s International Transport Research Documentation (ITRD) Database. TRID provides access to over 900,000 records of transportation research worldwide.
Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center
TFHRC provides FHWA and the world highway community with the most advanced research and development related to new highway technologies. The research focuses on providing solutions to complex technical problems through the development of more economical, environmentally sensitive designs; more efficient, quality controlled construction practices; and more durable materials. The end result is a safer, more reliable highway transportation system.
