22nd Annual Highway Report: Performance of State Highway Systems
This report uses eleven economic and performance indicators to rate the performance of state-owned highways in the U.S. in 2013. The indicators include: administrative, capital, bridge, and maintenance disbursements; condition of rural and urban interstates; urbanized area congestion; bridge condition; narrow rural lanes, and fatality rates. For 2013, the best overall states, based on highway performance and cost-effectiveness, are South Carolina, South Dakota, and Kansas. Additional data includes state-controlled mileage and state highway agency miles as of 2013. The report concludes that while bridge conditions and fatality rates are improving, the overall condition of the state highway system worsened slightly from 2012 to 2013.
