The Research Advisory Committee (RAC) is comprised of government officials, academics, professional truck drivers and trucking company executives and suppliers from a diverse cross-section of the industry, all who understand the importance of sound science to an industry as complex as the trucking industry. The RAC is charged with annually recommending a research agenda for the Institute.
