• Abstract:
  On January 12, 2009, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) provided the results of its audit of the National Bridge Inspection Program (NBIP). The report evaluated the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) efforts to promote State use of bridge management systems (BMS). The OIG recommended that the FHWA: a) initiate a program to collect data regularly on the States' use of BMS, b) evaluate the data to identify States needing help in implementing an effective BMS, and c) provide technical assistance and training resources to them. To fulfill recommendation (a) a questionnaire was developed to assist with responding and was completed by the FHWA Division Office Bridge Engineers in coordination with their State DOT counterparts. Using the BMS questionnaire responses this report has been compiled and comments summarized. This report fulfills recommendation (b), however; FHWA plans to repeat the questionnaire process biennially.
