This publication was prepared by the Office of Highway Information Management, Federal Highway Administration. It provides a general historical summary of information dealing with highways, their use, and their financing, thus bringing under one cover a comprehensive statistical review of highway development in the United States through 1995.

Included are statistical and analytical tables of general interest on motor fuel, motor vehicles, driver licensing, highway-user taxation, Federal aid for highways; State and local highway finance, and highway mileage and usage characteristics. A listing of the data is given in the table of contents and a brief description is given in the text accompanying each section.
