While many of these services are primarily focused on internal FHWA management and operations, they also include services to FHWA's partners and customers. These external services include programs to enhance coordinating information sharing with our partners via Electronic Data Sharing and Electronic Signatures and with the public via FHWA's Internet Web site.
