HCAS Past Review and Lookback Study



HCAS Study Review Team

The Study Review Team (SRT) consists of outside experts knowledgeable about transportation policy. It includes experts working for interested parties such as the trucking industry and the American Automobile Association (AAA). The team is chaired by the state chief economist. The Study Review Team's primary functions are to identify key issues to be studied and to review the contractor's analyses and work products. The SRT meets approximately 12 times during each biennial HCAS report cycle and receives no compensation for their service. 

The SRT:
  • Reviews the contractor's work elements
  • Reviews the contractor's final work plan
  • Reviews the draft study
  • Provides policy direction to the study
