FHWA Releases New Edition of Highway Statistics.

FHWA has released the 1999 edition of Highway Statistics, an annual publication that contains a wide range of information on America's roads and highway users.

FHWA and its forerunner, the Bureau of Public Roads, have published the report every year since 1945. It contains statistical

data on motor fuel, motor vehicles, driver licensing, highway-user taxation, state and local highway financing, highway mileage, federal aid for higways, select tables and charts from the 1995 Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey, and international data. The data also are used as the principal data in calculating each state's share of funds under TEA-21.

The report is available on the agency's Web site at www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim. The data tables can be viewed in PDF or downloaded as Excel spreadsheets. The report is also available by writing to the Office of Highway Policy Information, FHWA, Room 3306, 400 7th St. S.W., Washington, DC 20590.
