Sound statistical science must be combined with modern technology if the United States is to meet its transportation quality objectives. Success will require standardized measurements, the collection of information-laden data, resourceful data analysis, and the planning for new data. These quantitative arts must be combined with methods for problem solving and decision making under uncertainty. Statistical science thus joins the engineering sciences in the never-ending pursuit of transportation quality.
