The Research Subcommittee is tasked with promoting and supporting research in the field of public involvement in transportation.  Subcommittee members meet regularly via teleconference to identify industry trends and research needs, develop research problem statements for funding consideration, and related activities.  Over the past two years, the Research Subcommittee developed two research problem statements that were approved for funding by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (see below). 

The Research Subcommittee welcomes collaboration with other TRB committees, and encourages friends and members of the Committee on Public Involvement to join its efforts.  For more information, contact:
