Abstract:The purpose of this memo is to clarify the applicability of the National Bridge and Tunnel Inspection Standards (23 CFR 650) to bridges and tunnels on highways dedicated to publicly accessible transit buses, described herein as a ‘transit highway’. A transit highway, often called a transitway, is a dedicated right-of-way or roadway used by transit vehicles, usually buses. This guidance is in response to inconsistent application by States and other bridge and tunnel owners of these National Bridge and Tunnel Inspection Standards to transit highways. The FHWA has determined that the law requires all highway bridges and tunnels on transit highways carrying public riders in buses must be inspected to these standards to ensure public safety.
