Abstract:The report documents management practices used by, and issues facing, local transportation administrators. Data are drawn from a national survey of county and town highway officials, in Fall 1994 and Spring 1995, which provided usable information from 609 counties and 1961 towns. Five specific issues are discussed: training opportunities and needs; cooperative arrangements among local jurisdications and the working relationships with State departments of transportation; impact of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) on local road management; recent research suggesting a shift in how local road officials view intergovernmental aid in management decisions, and a discussion of policy changes that could improve local resource management in road and bridge management.
