Authorization
of the “Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and
Defense Highways” (the Interstate Highway System) in the
1950s created an interest in preserving the integrity of highways
built with federal funds. Federal interest in the nation's
highway system also extends to ensuring the safety, productivity,
and mobility of freight commerce.
The
national Vehicle Size and Weight Team, a part of the Federal
Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Office of Freight Management
and Operations, oversees state enforcement of heavy truck and bus
size and weight standards in the United States. The Vehicle Size
and Weight Team is assisted by FHWA's policy and legal staff.
Additionally, staff in each of FHWA's 52 Division Offices provide
one-on-one support to individual states, the District of
Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Washington Headquarters and Division
Office staff also assist with policy questions, clarifications,
reporting requirements, training, and other related program and
administrative issues.
