NCHRP PROBLEM STATEMENTS NOT SELECTED

Listed here are NCHRP Problem Statements that were not selected but represent an excellent summary of research needs. The problem statements are listed by year (since 2002) and may still have relevance for many agencies. Because the funding available to NCHRP permits programming only a small portion of the many worthy problems, the hope is that some of the problems might be undertaken by other agencies. A full listing of all NCHRP Problem Statements not selected since 2002 can be found at: http://www4.trb.org/trb/nchrp/unselected.nsf
