SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Truck Congestion Information 

Assessment. 

Background: The Federal Highway 

Administration’s (FHWA) ability to 

assess congestion is critical for our 

national leadership role. Highway traffic 

congestion causes an estimated 3.5 

billion hours of delays per year in 75 of 

the largest metropolitan areas. The 

volume of freight, the mix of goods, and 

the way they are moved has changed 

dramatically and highway system 

improvements have not kept pace with 

the growth and demand for freight 

transportation, resulting in congestion 

on our Nation’s highways and straining 

other freight modes as well. 

The purpose of this research is to 

collect highway congestion information 

to assess highway system performance 

and validate findings of the report on 

bottlenecks produced from Speed, 

Highway Performance Monitoring 

System (HPMS) and Freight Analysis 

Framework (FAF) data. 

The selected service provider will 

establish, promote, collect and analyze 

data from a developed system to provide 

easy access 24 hours a day, 7 days a 

week allowing the roadway user a 

convenient way to report areas of heavy 

congestion and bottleneck conditions at 

any point in time encountered 

nationally on the highway system. 

Roadside users can report information 

by using an automated phone system or 

the Internet. The information from the 

user will be date, time, state, and 

highway route number, direction of 

travel, mile marker and weather 

condition. The reporting from the 

roadside user is voluntary. 

Respondents: Approximately 1200 

Interstate roadway users daily, with the 

majority being truck drivers. 

Frequency: Every day for 3 years. 

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: Each response will be 

approximately 1 minute. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: Approximately 4,380 hours in 

the first year, 7,665 the second year, and 

9,855 the third year. Totaling 21,900 

hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the FHWA’s performance; 

(2) the accuracy of the estimated 

burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to 

enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the collected information; and
