INSIGHTS FROM ABROAD

For a number of years, the U.S. has reached beyond its borders to expand transportation knowledge. One of the most visible elements of this outreach is the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) 12-year-old International Technology Scanning Program, more commonly known as the scan program. As of early 2004, the program has conducted 54 scans, resulting in a wealth of information and benefits to the motoring public in the U.S. This article gives an overview of the scan program, describes the general format of the scan visits, and highlights several examples of successful scans.
