Subject
Summary:

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 mandated six transportation management systems for managing highway pavement, bridges, highway safety, traffic congestion, public transportation facilities and equipment, and intermodal transportation facilities. These management systems are tools that provide information to help state and local officials select cost-effective policies, procedures, and projects to protect and improve the nation's transportation infrastructure. Recent legislation made the six systems optional, except for the congestion management system in some areas. This testimony, which draws on a January 1997 report (GAO/RCED-97-32), discusses the status of the states' implementation of the systems, how the states expect to use the systems, and the factors that have facilitated or hindered their development and implementation.
