The National Transportation Product Evaluation Program (NTPEP) was established in 1994 as a Technical Services Program which reports to SCOH. The program combines the professional and physical resources of the AASHTO member departments in order to evaluate materials, products and devices of common interest for use in highway and bridge construction. The primary goals of the program are to provide cost-effective evaluations for the state DOTs by eliminating duplication of testing and auditing by the states and duplication of effort by the manufacturers that provide products for evaluation. As a liaison to the SOM, NTPEP supports the highway materials functions of these committees. MaineDOT supports the goals of NTPEP and is an active participant in the program.
