Abstract:This document is intended to provide decision makers with an objective appraisal of the physical conditions, operational performance, and financing mechanisms of highways, bridges, and transit systems based on both their current state and their projected future state under a set of alternative future investment scenarios. It consolidates conditions, performance, and financial data provided by States, local governments, and public transit operators to present a national-level summary. Some of the underlying data are available through the Department of Transportation's (DOT’s) regular statistical publications. The future investment scenario analyses are developed specifically for this report and provide projections at the national level only. This report draws primarily on 2012 data. In assessing recent trends, many of the exhibits presented in this report present statistics for the 10 years from 2002 to 2012. Other charts and tables cover different periods, depending on data availability and years of significance for particular data series. The prospective analyses presented in this report generally cover the 20-year period ending in 2032. Chapter topics include: personal travel and highway freight movement; trends in highway and transit system characteristics; current physical conditions; safety; sustainability and operational performance; revenue sources and expenditure patterns; capital investment and future performance; and investment scenarios. Special topics include: issues pertaining to pedestrian and bicycle transportation and transportation systems serving Federal and Tribal lands.
