Abstract:

This digest summarizes the findings of an international technology scanning review conducted with the support of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-36, "Highway Research and Technology - International Information Sharing." The scanning review team consisted of representatives from U.S. federal, state, and private sector agencies. They examined how other developed countries are coping with budgetary constraints that lead to downsizing and restructuring of their transportation agencies. The countries visited were Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. For each country, findings are reported in the following areas: (1) general background and organizational structure; (2) roles of government and the private sector in the delivery and maintenance of transportation facilities; (3) use of performance measures for producing programs and products and for allocating resources; and (4) innovative approaches for developing and implementing highway programs.
