The American Association of State Highway Officials was established in 1914 as an association of state, territorial, and District of Columbia highway departments and the Federal Highway Administration. In 1973 its name was expanded to bring in state departments of transportation. Officials of these agencies govern its operations. Engineering activities are carried on through standing committees which, among their other duties, prepare specifications, manuals, and standards representing current practice.
Publications of AASHTO include, among others, Transportation Materials (Specifications and Tests); Specifications for Highway Bridges; Geometric Design Standards; and numerous policy statements and guides. All these works are authoritative and frequent reference will be made to them in this site.
The association also publishes the AASHTO Quarterly. It reports on current highway and transportation subjects and reflects trends in thinking and legislation.
