Research

The WisDOT Research Program includes three major program components:

  • WisDOT established the Wisconsin Highway Research Program (WHRP) in 1998 in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison to discover better ways to design, build and reconstruct the state's highways and bridges.
  • The department’s Policy Research Program funds projects that focus on safety, operations, policy, financing, planning, economy, environment and other factors.
  • WisDOT also participates in projects that allow states to pool research funding through the Transportation Pooled Fund Program with other federal, state, local and private agencies to undertake larger research projects with a focus on specific topics or geographic locations.
