National Cooperative Highway Research Program
Okay kiddo, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) is a program that helps people who plan, design and build roads to do it better.
You know how when you build something, like a tower or a castle, sometimes you make mistakes and have to start over? Well, building roads is kind of the same way – you have to make sure the road is safe for cars and trucks to drive on. The NCHRP helps the people who build roads avoid making mistakes and find better ways to build roads that are safer and last longer.
The NCHRP gives money to researchers who study different things related to building roads. Like how to make the roads stronger so they don't fall apart if there's a lot of traffic or bad weather. They also look at how to make sure there are enough signs and traffic lights on the road, so drivers know where to go and when to stop or turn.
The NCHRP also talks to people who work in different parts of road building, like engineers or construction workers, to make sure they all know how to build roads the right way. And when they learn something new, they teach it to other people who build roads too, so everyone can work together to build better, safer roads for everyone to use.
So basically, the National Cooperative Highway Research Program helps people build better roads by doing research and teaching everyone how to build roads the right way.
