Preface
Between 2005 and 2006, AASHTO combined resources from the Transportation Research Board’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, the Transit Cooperative Research Program, and state pooled funds to conduct policy research in four areas. These included The Future of the Interstate Highway System, AASHTO’s Bottom Line Report for Highways and Transit, Future Financing Options to Meet Highway and Transit Needs, and AASHTO’s Freight Bottom Line Report. The results of these studies have enabled AASHTO to provide information and policy recommendations to the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission to assist them in their deliberations. A listing of the contractors who prepared these reports follows. Copies of the various research reports will be made available to the Commission as soon as they are complete. We are grateful to TRB and to our member states for making this research possible.
