Abstract
On December I8. 1991. tI,en President Bush signed She ante...! Surface Transportation Effi-
ciency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 This landmark legislation provides funding authorization for highways,
highway safety, and public transportation for the 1992 to 1997 time period; The ISTEA- explicitly
recognizes the need to "improve access to ports and airports, the Nation's link to world commerce."
This brochure is the result of joint cooperation between the Maritime Administration and the Federal
Highway Administration and it identifies, for the port community, metropolitan planning
organizations, and state transportation planners, opportunities within the TSTEA to address specific
port-related policies and projects, and provides a strategic focus for insuring that port protects and
plans are considered through the metropolitan and statewide planning programs.

Abstract
The NHPN-V2.0 is a data base of the major highways in the U.S. It is a foundation for analytic
studies of highway performance, vehicle routing and scheduling problems, and mapping purposes.
The NHPN-V2.0 is based on the U.S. Geological Survey's I:l,000,000 Digital Line Graphs (DEG).
Some urban links were digitized Dom state-supplied maps to assure up-to-date alignments. The
NHPN-V2.0 contains verified transportation attributes, such as sign route, FHWA National Highway
System flags, and DOT/FHWA fi~nctionai classification codes. It also contains unverified attributes
such as number of lanes, degree of access control, and median type.
