The report provides updated information on highways, bridges, and transit conditions, performance, finance, and investment requirements from all sources to meet the anticipated demands in both highway travel and transit ridership. It offers a comprehensive, factual background to support development and evaluation of legislative, program, and budget options at all levels of government and also serves as a primary source of information for national and international news media, transportation associations, and industry. Maintain and improve scenarios for highways, bridges, and transit are clearly portrayed, based on the Highway Economic Requirements System (HERS), and the Transit Economic Requirements Model (TERM). Organizationally, this report has two sections: (1) a bulleted summary covering conditions and performance, finance, and investment requirements for highways, bridges, and transit; and (2) a series of relevant questions and answers about these topics. New sections are included on system performance and investment requirements of the National Highway System and the Nation's freight industry. Also included are names and addresses of key contacts in the U.S. Department of Transportation for further information on the report. The electronic version of this report can be found on the FHWA and FTA Home Pages (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov and http://www.fta.dot.gov).
