Building the World

A Global Interstate

| 0 comments

The Federal Highway Administration, founded as it exists today in 1966, is part of the Department of Transportation. The FHWA helps state and local authorities “with the design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation’s highways” (http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/about/). Their work doesn’t end there; the FHWA has within it a department called the “Office of International Programs” which acts as a point of contact between the FHWA and international communities with questions regarding transportation systems. In this manner a dialogue has been created to allow for improvements in the U.S. Interstate System and other roadways, as well as those around the world!
