In April, the AASHTO Special Committee on Research and Innovation (R&I) formulated the NCHRP's FY 2022 program. TRB has shared the 2022 research problem statements and is now seeking member nominations to serve on each project panel. Nominations should be submitted through the TRB portal which requires creating a MyTRB login account. The FY 2022 projects must still be approved by the States' ballot, but TRB has set the deadline for nominations to June 30, 2021.

The Committee on Planning submitted four projects which now need panel member nominations:
  • NCHRP 08-152: Strategies for Advancing Equity in Transportation Planning by Increasing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusiveness in The Transportation Planning Profession
  • NCHRP 08-153: Guidance on Improving Truck Traffic Estimates in “Design Traffic” Estimates
  • NCHRP 08-154: Guidebook/Toolbox for Agencies to Incorporate Uncertainty into Long-Range Transportation Planning
  • NCHRP 08-160: Understand the role of transportation infrastructure investment in gentrification and displacement and identify effective policies and strategies to address these effects.
