44 Rural Transportation Issues: Research Roadmap After reviewing the information, the CRP Project Manager and the project panel chair recommended that seven RNS be submitted to the AASHTO Special Committee on R&I for consideration. The CRP Project Manager and the project panel chair chose these seven RNS as they were representative of the thematic areas identified in the research at that point.

50 Rural Transportation Issues: Research Roadmap The AASHTO Special Committee on R&I chose to move all seven problem statements through for potential FY2019 funding. In addition, one of the state DOT members on the committee was so interested in RNS21: Accessing America's Great Outdoors: Recreational Travel Patterns, Demands, and Needs that this DOT later became a sponsor for that problem statement.
