 Interstate Highway System at AllExperts
The numbering scheme for the Interstate Highway System (as well as the U.S. Highway System) is coordinated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), though their authority is occasionally trumped by a number written into Federal law.
States must also meet minimum enforcement standards for all federally mandated legislation (for example, minimum penalties for violation of these laws and a minimum number of per capita underage drinking convictions or a compelling explanation regarding why this number is not met).
In most states, the exit numbers correspond to the mileage markers on the Interstates (with an exception being I-19 in Arizona, whose length is measured in kilometers instead of miles).

 A Review of the 2002 California Infrastructure Plan
State departments identified $65.5 billion of capital outlay projects to the DOF for the five-year period 2002-03 through 2006-07.
Similarly, the plan proposes $56.3 million for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the DMV for "critical infrastructure deficiencies." This represents only 45 percent of the total $124 million in deficiencies identified by the two departments combined for the five-year period.
For example, the plan does not state whether the administration's priorities are: the renovation of aging facilities, addressing certain critical deficiencies, the development of new facilities and capacity, or a combination of these.
