• Abstract:
  A unique partnership--termed the 'National Quality Initiative' (NQI)--was formed in 1992 by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and various industry associations to focus attention on continuous quality improvement within the highway industry. The official beginning of the NQI was a 1-day 'Partnerships for Quality' seminar held on November 10, 1992, in Dallas, Texas. At that seminar a jointly developed 'National Policy on the Quality of Highways' was adopted by all the participating organizations during a signing ceremony at the seminar. The policy calls on each participating organization to pledge a continuing commitment toward quality products and services through a partnership approach within the highway industry. This approach will ensure that the United States furthers its role as a world leader with respect to its quality highway transportation system.
