    Prepared ca. 1999. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in striving to meet the Nation's need for the safe, efficient, and environmentally sound transport of people and goods, is continuing to work toward the creation and nurturing of leveraging partnerships. The FHWA's National Priority Technologies Program, which encourages regional private-sector partnerships to improve responsiveness to problems and leverage Federal resources, is an example of this.
