Accession Number: 01086723
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Through its Office of Asset Management, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the past 10 years has encouraged state transportation agencies to develop a robust preservation program. FHWA has published CD-ROMs and pocket guides and has sponsored the Pavement Preservation Expert Task Group. In addition, with the Foundation for Pavement Preservation, FHWA has advocated the development of regional preservation centers. The National Center for Pavement Preservation (NCPP) at Michigan State University is reviewing state DOT preservation programs and serves as the pavement preservation help desk for the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Other pavement preservation centers have been formed in Texas and California. Recently the Road Information Program and NCPP published a booklet, "At the Crossroads: Preserving Our Highway Investment," which describes the condition of the nation's highways and presents a compelling message about the importance of an effective preservation program. Copies of the booklet are available from NCPP at www.fp2.org/news/news_4.htm, or send an e-mail to ncpp@egr.msu.edu. [This is the entire article.]
