摘要：	The Nation's highway system is entering a unique era of change that brings with it significant challenges and opportunities for highway infrastructure. Highway agencies are experiencing unprecedented fiscal challenges to operate, maintain, and invest in highway infrastructure to maintain a state of good repair and provide the improvements needed to support economic growth. In these challenging times, highway professionals have no choice but to develop and apply innovative solutions to meet the needs of the traveling public. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Offices of Infrastructure, Infrastructure Research and Development (R&D), and Technical Services will focus on the necessary research and technology (R&T) Past infrastructure R&T investments have produced and put into practice innovations that have resulted in longer-lived assets at lower costs, reduced environmental impacts, saved lives, and improved economic efficiency. Additional innovation will be needed to further improve safety, reduce congestion, address environmental and energy concerns, provide the quality highway system that U.S. citizens expect, and address the departments strategic goals. Conducting research that addresses national highway infrastructure needs; developing new and updated policy, guidance, and technologies to address these needs; and effectively deploying policy, guidance, and technologies are key programmatic activities that are necessary to meet the current transportation challenges.
