TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 330: Public Benefits of Highway System Preservation and Maintenance examines the current practices for identifying, measuring, and articulating the public benefits of highway system maintenance and operation, and of communicating those benefits that are understandable and meaningful to stakeholders--road users, elected officials, and others who have an interest in the system's performance.

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined: (1) the condition of the Interstate Highway System; and (2) federal and state efforts to ensure its preservation. GAO found that: (1) the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) noted that over 40 percent of all interstate pavement was rated in fair or poor condition; (2) interstate conditions are not expected to improve beyond 1989 levels because future interstate investment needs significantly exceed funding levels, interstate capacity-enhancement needs will increasingly compete with preservation needs, and the Department of Transportation (DOT) has no goals for minimally acceptable interstate pavement conditions; (3) adequate and timely preventive maintenance could delay costly pavement reconstruction; (4) highways in four of the seven states GAO reviewed had significant maintenance backlogs that could adversely affect the structural integrity of roadways and bridges and the safety of the motoring public; (5) FHwA has not developed measurable criteria or standards for assessing the adequacy of state maintenance and weaknesses in the FHwA inspection process further weakened its oversight of state maintenance efforts; and (6) the Interstate Resurfacing, Restoration, Rehabilitation, and Reconstruction (4R) Program could affect how states prioritize highway projects by funding such capital-intensive preservation activities as resurfacing and reconstruction at a 90-percent federal matching share and by not funding preventive maintenance.
