ISTEA: REVITALIZING SURFACE TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS

R J Betsold

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

This article discusses how the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) will significantly shape the future of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) research and technology (R&T) program. In summary, ISTEA will provide the FHWA R&T programs with greater visibility and resources, strong support for intelligent vehicle highway systems (IVHS), collaborative research, emphasis on commercial motor vehicle safety, international outreach, and expanded education and training programs.
