| 摘要： | The partnership of state and local agencies and FHWA, successfully obligated, for the first time ever, more than $20 billion worth of highway and bridge projects in each of the last two years, 1993-1995. The Federal-aid Highway Program delivers a product essential to the economic well-being of the nation and continues to improve, thanks to the dedicated efforts and commitment of the transportation professionals making up the FHWA family. On December 9, 1993, ahead of schedule, Secretary Federico Pena and Administrator Slater recommended that Congress designate the National Highway System, (NHS), a system of more than 160,000 miles of the nations most important roads that forms the backbone of Americas transportation system. Administrator Slater has traveled throughout the United States and Puerto Rico on several road tours, experiencing how important the NHS is to the nations economy. The NHS traverses 90 percent of all U.S. counties which collectively account for 99 percent of the jobs. On June 22 1995, the Senate passed S. 440, the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995. This bill would approve the NHS and give the Secretary of Transportation authority to make subsequent changes without congressional approval. Reduced congestion, improved travel time, better connections with other transportation modes, lower vehicle operating costs, greater access for seniors to medical facilities and shopping locations, improved access to jobs, and the companion quality-of-life impacts are just some of the benefits of focusing limited federal resources on this system of national importance. |
