The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) recently joined with the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) to release A Guide to Planning Resources on Transportation and Hazards, published as TCRP Research Results Digest 90 and NCHRP Research Results Digest 333. This report highlights a framework for thinking about the stages of a disaster, and identifies some of the most current and innovative hazard-related research.

Another new TCRP publication—Research Results Digest 93: Rural Transit Achievements: Assessing the Outcomes of Increased Funding for Rural Passenger Services Under SAFETEA-LU (the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, and Efficient Transportation Equity Act)—summarizes a report that explores data and information on the changes in rural public and intercity bus transportation that resulted from the increases in funding made available through the federal transportation authorization bill.

Copies of these reports are available online.
