Section 8: Handbooks and Forms
Anchor: #i1001923Overview
This section lists handbooks and forms most often used by personnel who interact with the research and implementation programs. They are listed here as a convenient overview, and identified later in this manual, where related topics are discussed. RTI maintains several additional forms that are distributed only as needed, along with specific instructions.
RTI handbooks provide the detailed discussions and procedures necessary to implement policies presented in this manual.
Anchor: #i1001938Where to Find Handbooks and Forms
TxDOT employees may find handbooks and forms on RTI’s Crossroads (Intranet) site.
RTI sends the University Handbook and relevant forms to university liaisons as they are updated. Current forms are also sent to liaisons with each annual request for proposal.
