its stakeholders and highlight notable initiatives or projects that
illustrate FHWA's RD&T approach. The Web site will include an
electronic mechanism for stakeholders to provide feedback on the
overall RD&T Agenda, FHWA's approach to addressing national
transportation challenges, and potential opportunities for FHWA to
collaborate with stakeholders to address them.
