Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
A division of the U.S. Department of Transportation specializing in highway transportation, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is committed to improving transportation mobility and safety while protecting the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and preparing for climate change effects on transportation systems. They initiate and disseminate climate change related research, while providing technical assistance to stakeholders. The FHWA is also involved in climate change initiatives with the U.S. DOT Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting and other partners.
