- Abstract
- The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has the responsibility to assure that adequate highway transportation information is available to support its functions and responsibilities, including those of the Administration and the Congress. The primary purpose of the Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) is to serve these data and information needs. The HPMS provides data that reflects the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the nation's highways. The HPMS by itself is not geospatial data. It is linked to another FHWA dataset, the National Highway Planning Network (NHPN), through linear referencing. The NHPN provides the geospatial component of this dataset. The hpms data on the 2013 NTAD represents 2011 hpms. 2011 is the latest complete compilation of hpms data.
- Purpose
- The HPMS provides data that reflects the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the nation's highways. It supports informed highway planning, policy making, and decision making at the national, state, and local levels. FHWA is undertaking a number of significant changes to the hpms. During this time, hpms should be considered a work in progress and some differences in the data will be apparent from one year to the next. FHWA is aware of this and making every effort to ensure each release of the hpms is the best product possible.
