Who Are Our Customers
Internally, the FHWA Resource Center customers are the FHWA Division Offices, Federal Lands Highway Divisions, and Headquarters Program Offices. FHWA is successful as an agency because all organizational units of the agency work together and use aligned performance plans to achieve common goals.
Externally, the Resource Center customers are the transportation agencies partnering with FHWA (such as State Departments of Transportation) for the advancement of the nation's transportation system. As service is provided to external customers, the Resource Center works through Division Offices or Headquarters Offices to represent FHWA as a single organization meeting customer needs and accomplishing agency strategic goals and objectives.
The Resource Center was established in 1998 as four independent organizations, and integrated into one Resource Center in 2003. From the initial concept, the FHWA structured the Resource Center to provide world class expertise and to deliver innovative solutions to complex transportation challenges.
The Resource Center is a valued asset working hand in hand with all of FHWA's customers, customizing services to meet needs, and contributing to the success of all involved. The Resource Center provides services to customers to build technical expertise, deploy technology, and solve technical problems.
