Summary Bottom Line Report | Full Bottom Line Report
Acknowledgements
This report is the result of the efforts of many people. The Bottom Line Task Force, chaired by
Dennis Slimmer of the Kansas Department of Transportation, provided invaluable oversight on behalf of the AASHTO Board of Directors.
Alan E. Pisarski and Arlee Reno of Cambridge Systematics served as the principle research team for the report.
Susan Binder, Ross Crichton, and their colleagues at the Federal Highway Administration provided technical advice on the nature of the modeling, the interpretation of results, and alternative scenarios.
Two research projects conducted under the auspices of the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) and Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies provided background supporting the analyses and recommendations presented in this report. AASHTO wishes to thank the project panel members, staff, and research teams that guided and performed the research: NCHRP 20–24(58)G and TCRP H–33B.
AASHTO also wishes to express its profound appreciation to all who devoted long hours and shared their special knowledge to produce the Bottom Line Report. We believe it will serve as a valuable research tool as the nation addresses its transportation needs.
