摘要：	Transportation is more than just highways, bridges, trains, planes, and buses. Transportation connects people to their jobs, to their communities, to each other. Transportation reaches across the nation to improve our quality of life and to ensure the well-being of our society, our economy, our environment, and our nation. In 2001, AASHTO and FHWA created the Center for Environmental Excellence to promote environmental stewardship and encourage innovative ways to streamline the transportation delivery process. The Center has assisted state transportation agencies in developing numerous environmental stewardship practices, policies, and programs to help meet society's environmental, economic, and social goals for the future. In 2003, AASHTO published the first Taking the High Road report which chronicled the important contributions that state transportation agencies were making across the country. This second report, Above and Beyond, documents new projects and programs that continue to advance both transportation and environmental stewardship. Within these pages you will find important facts on how transportation makes a real difference to our quality of life.
