Technical Quarterly was a quarterly newsletter created and issued by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation’s Research Office (now the Texas Department of Transportation’s Research and Technology Implementation Office) from 1984 to 1997.
The newsletter was dedicated to information dissemination and technology transfer for the transportation community. CTR Library has digitized the archive as part of its contract with TxDOT’s Research and Technology Implementation Office (RTI).
