Response: There will be no sampling conducted under this project. The survey will be administered to 52 state departments of Transportation, as required by MAP-21.

Describe procedures for collecting information, including statistical methodology for stratification and sample selection, estimation procedures, degree of accuracy needed, and less than annual periodic data cycles.
Response: There will be no sampling conducted under this project. Results of survey will be tabulated and analyzed and the results will be reported to Congress in accordance with MAP-21 Section 1120. The US DOT/FHWA is not able to verify info and is only summarizing reports from states and respondents and is not responsible for the actual numbers or statements provided by respondents.
Describe methods to maximize response rate.
Response: FHWA will seek assistance from the national organizations and agencies described in the response to Question #1 in overseeing the distribution of the survey tool and in supporting any follow-up with non-respondents in order to achieve a response rate of 100%.
FHWA has procured contractor services to support work activities required under this section of MAP-21. The contractor, through this procurement, is required to monitor the operation of the survey as it is conducted.
Describe tests of procedures or methods.
Response: The survey is wholly based on required information described in MAP-21 and no testing will be done.
