NCHRP (National Cooperative Highway Research Program)

The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) is a program in the United States that funds research projects to improve highways and transportation systems. Established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), it aims to address challenges in road design, construction, and maintenance through studies and innovative solutions. The findings help state and local transportation agencies enhance safety, efficiency, and sustainability in their operations, benefiting drivers and communities nationwide. NCHRP fosters collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to ensure that transportation systems meet current and future needs.
