INSIGHTS FROM COOPERATIVE RESEARCH IN OTHER TRANSPORTATION MODES In requesting this study, Congress asked specifically for an evaluation of the applicability to airport research needs of the approaches to cooperative research in the highway and public transit modes. The experiences of the two main cooperative research programs in these other transportation modes -- the National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Transit Cooperative Research Program -- offer lessons on the value of cooperative research and how to structure a cooperative research program for airports.

Careful consideration must be given to ensuring that similar characteristics are built into an ACRP. The following governance, financing, and management characteristics are especially important to fostering these outcomes: The program must be governed and the research agenda guided primarily by airport operators, but with the active participation and close collabo ration of federal agencies, airport users, and others expected to use and help implement the research results.

The organization hosting the Governing Board or managing the program nominates two members who are interested in and knowl edgeable about airport infrastructure, operations, safety, security, and environmental impacts. These nominations should be rotated periodically among air travelers, general aviation operators, air cargo carriers and shippers, airport consultants and suppliers, and researchers.

After 3 years, the board will report on the state and accomplishments of the program and advise on future program funding beyond this trial period. Program Management The program will be managed in a manner consistent with the manage ment of the National Cooperative Highway and Transit Cooperative Research Programs, which are administered by the National Academies' Transportation Research Board.
