摘要: In the spring of 1997, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) started a two-phased evaluation of its organizational structure. Phase I included the identification of the roles and responsibilities of FHWA's field organization. Phase II started in March 1998 and focused on developing a detailed implementation plan for the proposed restructured field organization, identifying the headquarters functions that would more appropriately be performed by the field organizations, and restructuring the headquarters. This evaluation has resulted in a plan to restructure FHWA's field and headquarters organizations. The major changes in the field organization eliminate the nine regional offices, delegate more authority to the 52 division offices, and provide four resource centers to support the federal-aid and motor carrier division offices in their primary role of program delivery to the state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, and other partners and customers responsible for providing highway transportation, safety services, and enforcement. In the headquarters, the principal change is the establishment of a matrix management structure with five core business areas--planning and environment, infrastructure, operations, motor carrier and highway safety, and federal lands highway--and eight cross-cutting service business units--policy; research, development, and technology; administration; chief counsel; civil rights; public affairs; professional development; and corporate management. The field structure was implemented on October 1, 1998. Changes in the headquarters structure became effective in mid-January, 1999.
