The user may then select a document to view and may also print the selected document, save a portion of it for later use, or edit it. Originally, CTI had been asked to develop a web site for FHWA's Office of Highway Information Management. This task quickly expanded to include preliminary site design and development for FHWA Headquarters, Staff Offices, and Associate Administrators, with links to other existing FHWA web sites. A cornerstone of the new FHWA web site is complete documentation of the recently enacted National Highway System Designation Act, including full text, section by section analysis of the legislation, and the ability to respond to public inquiry. The Directory was created to assist transportation data users, policy makers, planners, and researchers locate essential information contacts and statistical agencies in different countries.
Data entries are primarily for governmental and quasi governmental organizations.
In addition to hardcopy, the Directory will also be available in electronic format via Internet, on the World Wide Web.
