The report discusses nationwide highway usage throughout the 1970's and provides travel demand forecasts for the period 1980-2000. The forecasts are based on trends established in the past decade, tempered with new realities of fuel price escalation, potential future shortages in fuel, demographic shifts, and changes in traditional relationships between highway usage and economic activity. The report was prepared to support and provide background information for the 1981 Status of the Nation's Highways: Conditions and Performance Report prepared by the Federal Highway Administration. The highway system is presented as one component of a multi-modal transportation system, and the interrelationships of modal choice for people and freight movement are examined historically as documentation and support for demand forecasts. A discussion of previously available forecasts is included to provide a sense of scale.
