| Abstract | This is the 1997 edition of a series of reports required by Congress on America's surface transportation system. The report provides information on the physical and operating characteristics of the highway, bridge, and transit portions of our Nation's intermodal transportation system. It also discusses the current financing of those transportation modes and the future investment that will be required to achieve benchmarks of system performance. The investment analysis employs subjective assumptions about travel growth, land use, vehicle use patterns, and other factors that can be expected to influence future funding requirements. The analysis in this report is based on data submitted by State and local transportation agencies. 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 significant and relevant questions and answers about these topics. In addition, special new sections are included on the National Highway System, the backbone of the intermodal surface transportation system, and the U.S. freight industry. A table of contents keyed to the topics and specific questions addressed is included for quick reference. Also included are names and addresses of key contacts in the U.S. Department of Transportation for further information on the report. From the hyperlinked table of contents in this PDF file, the viewer can select the chapter desired. |
