Another principal responsibility of ADOT's Data Section is administering
a federal highway program known as the Highway Performance Monitoring System
(HPMS). Required of each state and U.S. Territory by the Federal
Highway Administration (FHWA), the HPMS is America's national database
of highway information. Roadway extent, use, condition and performance data
is collected by and for the states and submitted to the FHWA on an annual
basis. From a national perspective, the FHWA's primary intent with this
program is to provide Congress with a policy tool for major highway legislation
and funding decisions. [more about HPMS ... ]
