The National Road Research Alliance (NRRA) is a pooled fund that focuses on solving problems that impact road owners with an emphasis on customer needs. This pooled fund will help direct and compliment the use of the MnROAD test track for local, regional, and national research, tech transfer and implementation needs. Road owner agencies will provide input and participate in the decision making needed for future MnROAD construction and research. Industry and academia also play an important role to provide critical input on long-term future trends in research and barriers to implementation, including working with their customers and members who play a direct role in implementation. To date, eight state agencies and almost 40 industries and academic institutions have become NRRA members. We are sharing expertise and learning about new tools and methods to improve and expand upon transportation systems nationally.
