Abstract:The six New England state transportation agencies are cooperating with the six New England state land-grant
universities and the Federal Highway Administration in a program of transportation research. This joint venture is
called the “New England Transportation Consortium (NETC)”. The NETC was formed as a regional approach to
address transportation research needs of mutual concern to the New England states. Its purpose is to pool the
financial, professional and academic resources of the region and to use them to research and develop improved
methods of dealing with common problems in the planning, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation, reconstruction
and operation of transportation systems in the participating states.
This report discusses the following issues regarding NETC: description; funding; history (from October 1, 1994, to
December 31, 2011); establishment and start-up activities; organization and management; project selection process;
award of funding; strengths; and, challenges. The report also provides recommendations and guidelines for the
establishment, operation and sustained growth of an intergovernmental, multistate cooperative research program.
