The Federal-aid highway program began on July 11, 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916. The Good Roads Movement that began in the 1880s and led to creation of the U.S. Office of Road Inquiry (ORI) in the Department of Agriculture in 1893 had agitated for a Federal role in road construction. The movement, origi

This is one of nine engineering case studies conducted under the Transportation Engineering Approaches to Climate Resiliency (TEACR) Project. This case study focuses on the impacts of changes in temperature and precipitation on pavements constructed over expansive soils.
This is one of nine engineering case studies conducted under the Transportation Engineering Approaches to Climate Resiliency (TEACR) Project. This case study focused on the impacts of future changes in precipitation and temperature on rock and soil slope stability.
This Strategic Agenda will inform the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) pedestrian and bicycle activities in the next 3 to 5 years and is being organized around four goals: (1) Networks, (2) Safety, (3) Equity, and (4) Trips. Each goal includes actions relating to (a) Capacity Building, (b) Policy, (c) Data, and (d) Research. The Strategic Ag

On a monthly basis, each State is required to report to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the amount of gallons taxed by that state. This data is analyzed and compiled by FHWA staff. The data on the amount of on-highway fuel use for each State is then used to attribute federal revenue to each State. Yearly, the FHWA, Office of Policy, prov

This is one of nine engineering case studies conducted under the Transportation Engineering Approaches to Climate Resiliency (TEACR) Project. This case study focused on the vulnerability of cold region pavement to changes in temperature and precipitation.
This is one of nine engineering case studies conducted under the Transportation Engineering Approaches to Climate Resiliency (TEACR) Project. This case study focused on the vulnerability of a barrier island roadway to overwashing from sea level rise and storm surge.
This is one of nine engineering case studies conducted under the Transportation Engineering Approaches to Climate Resiliency (TEACR) Project. This case study explores the feasibility of using a living shoreline to protect a coastal roadway against sea level rise and storm surge.
The Adaptation Decision-Making Assessment Process (ADAP) is proposed as a tool for planners and designers to account for the increasing role of climate change in the design of civil works projects. ADAP is intended as a risk-based tool to aid decision makers in determining which project alternative makes the most sense in terms of life cycle cost,
