The Transportation Engineering and Road Research Alliance (TERRA) published its first annual report in August. The report summarizes the highlights of TERRA efforts and activities during the past fiscal year (July 2006 through June 2007).
In addition to providing details about TERRA members and how to get involved, the report outlines the research and reconstruction under way at the Minnesota Road Research Project (MnROAD), a pavement and road research facility operated by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT). The report also describes TERRA's annual process for collecting project ideas from partners and friends.
TERRA, a research governance structure formed in 2004 to foster a comprehensive road research program, brings together government, industry, and academia in a dynamic partnership to advance innovations in road engineering and construction. TERRA's partnering efforts reach beyond Minnesota to include transportation organizations in other states and in Europe.
