21st Century American Highways and Bridges Status Report to Congress on the Conditions and Performance of Highways Bridges and Mass Transit - Ringbound
Author: U.S. Government

This ringbound book provides an up-to-date report from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration on the status of the nation s highways, bridges, and transit. The 2006 report to Congress is the seventh in a series of combined documents prepared by the Department of Transportation to satisfy requirements for rep... more »orts to Congress on the condition, performance, and future capital investment needs of the Nation s highway and transit systems. This document is intended to provide decision makers with an objective appraisal of the physical conditions, operational performance, and financing mechanisms of highways, bridges, and transit systems based both on the current state of these systems and on the projected future state of these systems under a set of alternative future investment scenarios. This report offers a comprehensive, factual background to support the development and evaluation of legislative, program, and budget options at all levels of government. It also serves as a primary source of information for national and international news media, transportation associations, and industry. This C&P report consolidates conditions, performance, and financial data provided by States, local governments, and mass transit operators to provide a national-level summary. The future investment scenario analyses are developed specifically for this report and provide national-level projections only. The report begins with a Highlights section that lists key findings, focusing mainly on changes in various indicators since 1997, the last year prior to the enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), which authorized Federal highway and transit funding for the period 1998 through 2003. This is followed by an Executive Summary that highlights the key findings in each individual chapter. The main body of the report is organized into four major sections. Part I, Description of Current System, and Part II, Investment/Performance Analysis, include the core analyses of the report. Chapters 2 through 10 begin with a combined summary of highway and transit issues, followed by separate sections discussing highways and transit in more detail. This structure is intended to accommodate report users who want a multimodal perspective, as well as those who may primarily be interested in only one of the two modes.
