county governments in various street and highway programs. Their
needs and roles in economic development and growth are very important
locally, and the Transportation Management Program is active in
supporting these programs.

Management Program is actively involved in funded research through

United States Department of Transportation. These projects include
- an analysis of the economic
impact of highway by-passes on rural communities
- an evaluation of the
public need and expectations for highway maintenance projects
- an evaluation of the
operational test for electronically obtaining commercial vehicle
credentials
- several transportation
corridor studies
