The American public wants safer roads that can help reduce fatalities and injuries from highway crashes; new and reconstructed highways that are more compatible with established communities and the natural environment; highway rehabilitation and repair projects that are performed quickly to reduce traffic disruption and provide smooth, long-lasting pavements; and systems that manage traffic to reduce congestion and provide highway users with precise, reliable information about traffic conditions, incidents, and alternative routings. Achievement of many of these goals is possible and perhaps even essential to sustain the nation's economic growth, improve its quality of life, and preserve the environment for future generations, but it will require continuing innovation delivered through a strong national highway research and technology (R&T) effort.
