		AASHTO calls on the US Access Board to provide cost estimates and a financial plan for the implementation of these guidelines to illustrate the potential financial impacts of their proposed solutions to accessibility issues on the implementing agencies prior to the release of the Notice of Proposed Rule Making.
		However, AASHTO feels that there is a point at which the congestion, delay, and cost to vehicle users due to lane closures would outweigh the need to provide the alternate path on the same side of the street, and would thus warrant this requirement unreasonable (or in the Access Board’s terminology, “technically infeasible”).
		AASHTO is extremely concerned about the ramifications of this guideline on existing pedestrian routes at grade-separated interchanges and bridges, since it will essentially require elevators to connect all routes between the upper and lower roadways.

	Defects of the AASHTO Model
		Both Wilkinson and AASHTO say that it is appropriate to combine Classes B and C for most purposes and recommend that this standard of an untrained, incompetent, immature, less than twelve-year-old cyclist determine the design of most of the bicycle facilities in the United States.
		AASHTO says that "Studies have shown that a very low percentage of current bicycle owners qualify as experienced or highly skilled bicyclists." Actually, there have been no such studies.
		AASHTO describes Class A cyclists by their purposes in cycling: commuting cycling, utility cycling, and touring cycling.

	AASHTO STATEMENT FOR THE RECORD
		AASHTO believes that there are opportunities for environmental stewardship activities and approaches during every phase of the transportation delivery project: planning, design, construction, operations/maintenance.
		Since the enactment of ISTEA and TEA-2l, AASHTO members have shared their experiences and have identified, from a practitioner’s viewpoint, the areas in the project delivery process that either are not working, or are not working as efficiently as they could.
		AASHTO recognizes, however, that studies are only as good as the methodology used, the questions asked, and the data provided.

	What the AASHTO guide says about bicycle sidepaths and sidewalks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The 1999 AASHTO Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities (ordering information for print version with CD-ROM; CD-ROM only) is the standard reference work for design of bicycle facilities in the United States of America.
		AASHTO does not mention that during hours of darkness, contraflow sidepath users are in the bright side of motorists' headlamp beam pattern, another very significant hazard.
		When the available right-of-way is too narrow to accommodate all highway and shared use path features, it may be prudent to consider a reduction of the existing or proposed widths of the various highway (and bikeway) cross-sectional elements (i.e., lane and shoulder widths, etc.).

	American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		AASHTO, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, is a standards setting body which publishes specifications, test protocols and guidelines which are used in highway design and construction throughout the United States.
		The voting membership of AASHTO consists of the Department of Transportation of each State in the United States, as well as that of Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia.
		AASHTO is not a government body, but does possess quasi-governmental powers in the sense that the organizations that supply its members customarily obey most AASHTO decisions.

		AASHTOs goal must be to make the system work better, safer, and smarter, to both save lives and save time for our citizens.
		There is no single solution to this challenge, there are many, from the rapid clearing of traffic accidents, to advising motorists of traffic tie-ups or weather delays, to improving highway work zones for the safety of both drivers and workers.
		This AASHTO report showcases examples of what is working well in states across the country.

	PB Network \| Issue 37 \| AASHTO LRFD: The Road Ahead for Bridge Engineers
		In 1986, the AASHTO Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures took the first step in replacing the Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges—an assessment of the document to compare its contents to non-U.S. design specifications and alternative design philosophies.
		Upon completing the assessment in 1987, the subcommittee judged the Standard Specifications to include “discernible gaps, inconsistencies, and even some conflicts.” Furthermore, the current specifications did not embody the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) philosophy that is considered to be the state of the art in bridge design.
		For transverse design at the strength limit states, the negative moments are approximately 35 percent higher when compared to AASHTO HS20-44 loading, and positive moments are approximately 25 percent higher.

	AASHTO Drafting Position on Recycled Content Mandates
		In anticipation of next year's debate on reauthorization of the federal highway program, AASHTO is developing position papers on various issues, including mandates to use recycled materials in roadbuilding.
		In a draft discussion paper, AASHTO noted that pending legislation (H.R. 530) would require that states use a specific portion of apportioned funds to purchase recycled materials.
		AASHTO said that state transportation agencies, not legislators, should determine where the use of waste products and materials is most appropriate, taking into consideration issues that include structural integrity, possible environmental impacts, highway-worker and -user safety, and economic impacts.
