- W606083779 abstract "From the results of two surveys conducted among highway officials across the United States 11 areas of concern were identified. The principal concern was funding needs. Although inflation and declining public investment in roads are widely recognized as major problems, some data are offered to show that the big retrenchment in capital investment has occurred mainly at the state level. At the local municipal and at the local rural level the amount of money available for capital improvements and for highway maintenance has been steadier. In some cases it has actually increased slightly, when adjustments are made to correct for inflationary effects. In 1980 the state highway systems received 15 times more dollars per mile in capital investment than did the local rural highway systems. The state roads also received 4 times more maintenance dollars per mile. As a consequence of this difference, the local roads agencies put about 50-60 percent of their funds into highway maintenance but the states allocate only about 30 percent to maintenance. Funding problems on the local road systems have existed for a long time, and they may be expected to persist in the future. The real challenge for road officials in the 1980s will be to find and use innovative ways to do better with the limited funds available. Among the other concerns articulated by local roads officials were a need for better communications with the public in order to gain support and understanding of the problems of highway agencies. The most frequently mentioned technical concern was a need for less costly and more durable paving materials and better methods for setting the priorities and scheduling pavement improvements. The remaining concerns included frustration with bureaucracy, a need for better-trained staff, better ways to manage people and funds, design criteria specifically tailored for local roads, frustration with increasing liability and litigation proceedings, a need for ways to deal with increasing volumes and weights of traffic, more cost-effective and efficient maintenance methods, and a need for more fuel-efficient and more durable equipment.
