Guiding Principles

Objectives and Strategies

Strategic Plan Objectives

  1. Highway Safety - Reduce the number of fatalities attributable to infrastructure design characteristics and work zones.
  2. Infrastructure Safety and Security - Improve the safety and security of highway infrastructure.
  3. Infrastructure Management - Improve the management of infrastructure assets and advance the implementation of a performance-based program for the National Highway System (NHS).
  4. Project Delivery - Improve the ability of transportation agencies to deliver projects that meet expectations for timeliness, quality and cost.
  5. Mobility - Reduce user delay attributable to infrastructure system performance, maintenance, rehabilitation and construction.
  6. Infrastructure Performance - Improve highway condition and performance through increased use of design, materials, construction and maintenance innovations.
  7. Environmental Sustainability - Reduce the life-cycle environmental impacts of highway infrastructure (design, construction, operation, preservation, and maintenance).
