NATIONAL COOPERATIVE HIGHWAY RESEARCH PROGRAM Systematic, well-designed, and implementable research is the most effective way to solve many problems facing state depart- ments of transportation (DOTs) administrators and engineers. Often, highway problems are of local or regional interest and can best be studied by state DOTs individually or in cooperation with their state universities and others. However, the accelerating growth of highway transportation results in increasingly complex problems of wide interest to highway authorities. These prob- lems are best studied through a coordinated program of cooperative research. Recognizing this need, the leadership of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in 1962 initiated an objective national highway research program using modern scientific techniques—the National Coopera- tive Highway Research Program (NCHRP). NCHRP is supported on a continuing basis by funds from participating member states of AASHTO and receives the full cooperation and support of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), United States Depart­ment of Transportation, under Agreement No. 693JJ31950003.

Federal, state, and municipal transportation agencies have taken steps to advance the integration of transportation planning and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to create more unified decision-making processes, reduce duplication of efforts, and support better informed project-level decisions.

The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Legal Research Digest 89: Planning and Environment Linkages: Review of Statutory Authority and Case Law details the origins and evolution of NEPA and the Federal Highway Administration’s Planning and Environment Linkages program.
