the exchange of information on current transportation research projects.
Most of the RiP records are projects funded by Federal and State Departments
of Transportation. University transportation research is also included.
In 1998, the Transportation Association
of Canada began supplying records from its Canadian Surface Transportation
Research Database for RIP.
