The IRC provides a National forum for sharing of knowledge and pooling of experience on the entire range of subjects dealing with the
construction and maintenance of roads and bridges, including technology,
equipment, research, planning, finance, taxation, organization and all connected policy issues. In more specific terms, the objectives of the IRC are:
- to promote and encourage the science and practice of building, operation and maintenance of roads.
- to provide a channel for the expression of collective opinion of its members regarding roads.
- to promote the use of standard specifications and to propose specifications.
- to advise regarding education, experiment and research connected with roads.
- to hold periodical meetings to discuss technical questions regarding roads and thus disseminate technical knowledge of experiences amongst highway engineers
- to suggest legislation for the development, improvement and protections of roads.
- to suggest improved methods of administration, planning, design, construction, operation, use and maintenance of roads.
- to establish, furnish and maintain libraries and museums for furthering the science of road making.
- to publish, or arrange for the publication of proceedings, journals, periodicals, and other literature for the promotion of the objectives of the IRC
The IRC has relentlessly strived to achieve these objectives and fulfill its charter.
