The Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) focuses on issues significant to the public transit industry, with emphasis on developing near-term applied research solutions to a variety of industry problems involving facilities, vehicles, equipment, service concepts, operations, policy, planning, human resources, maintenance, and administrative practices. TCRP is a unique undertaking for anyone interested in public transportation.

TCRP has published an abundance of reports and products in the area of technology that may be of interest to APTA members, and best of all, they are free. Sample reports include Assessment of Hybrid-Electric Transit Bus Technology; Determining Training for New Technologies: A Decision Game and Facilitation Guide; and Deployment of Mobile Device Technology for Real-Time Transit Information.
