LTRC's newest publication, Implementation Impacts, is a four-page brochure that gives 8-10 summaries of the center's latest research projects that have been implemented across the state. Written in a non-technical style, it quickly displays cost and safety benefits that can be expected and explains the background and research approach of each project.
