摘要: Once considered a rural State, North Carolina now boasts an estimated population of 8,683,242 individuals, with 7 million licensed drivers and more than 7.5 million registered vehicles. Managing complex transportation demands in the areas of highways, aviation, ferry, public transit and rail requires out-of-the-box thinking, especially in light of the States burgeoning population, increasing maintenance needs and limited transportation dollars. North Carolina has addressed these concerns by becoming a leader in the transportation field. In 1998, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) stepped up its asset management efforts by developing a maintenance quality assurance program to report its maintenance needs to the North Carolina General Assembly. The department also began a pavement preservation initiative in 2001 that develops system preservation strategies based on the maintenance condition report. In 2000, the DOT embarked upon an effort to develop a visionary document that would identify the States' long term transportation needs. A multimodal steering committee spearheaded the endeavor, which included (1) an 18-month scoping process to determine potential funding and needs for all modes of transportation, and (2) a 30-month public education, solicitation and dialogue process regarding transportation priorities. The result: NCDOT's Board of Transportation unanimously adopted the Long Range Statewide Transportation Plan, the agency's first real blueprint for the next 25 years, in September 2004. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
