S. Government Accountability Office (\u003c\/b\u003e (Created by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed state highway agencies' efforts to improve highways and reduce costs, specifically: (1) how states adopt highway pavement technologies for use; (2) the extent to which states use selected technologies; (3) criteria states use in adopting selected technologies, such as cost or performance measures; and (4) barriers that prevent states from adopting selected technologies. \u003cbr\u003e GAO found that: (1) state highway agencies both receive and provide information about technologies through technology transfer; (2) most states relied on the Federal Highway Administration and research review committees to select and prioritize potential technologies for test and evaluation; (3) highway agencies have widely differing levels of experience with the six technologies; (4) highway agencies' examples of their technology evaluations showed their use of the six technologies, their evaluation criteria and results, and the importance of other factors in adoption decisions; (5) all the states used hot mix recycling and about 30 states adopted or evaluated the other five technologies; (6) states' experiences with the selected technologies varied widely from 2 months to 30 years; (7) states considered performance and cost, then physical factors, in their technology adoption decisions; and (8) key barriers to technology adoption included key decisionmakers' opposition, limited expertise in the technology application, and lack of the necessary equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 9.69 x 7.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 27, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53147229913395,"sku":"9781289117528","price":29.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Z_cUWjAw8b9781289117528.webp?v=1773878081","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/highways-how-state-agencies-adopt-new-pavement-technologies-pemd-88-19-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
