National Highway System: Refinements Would Strengthen the System
(Testimony, 03/01/94, GAO/T-RCED-94-136).

Expected to influence surface transportation for decades to come, the
National Highway System (NHS) will link the country's leading highways
with major travel destinations, including airports, rail terminals, and
public transportation facilities. The Transportation Department, working
with state and local officials as well as the private sector, has made
great strides in identifying the most important roads that should
comprise NHS. This testimony discusses (1) the expectations for NHS; (2)
states' rationales for requested adjustment to NHS mileage that the
Federal Highway Administration had allocated to them; (3) problems in
linking NHS other transportation modes; and (4) future adjustments to
NHS.
