Afterword

Although FHWA By Day is being published as part of the FHWA's celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Federal-aid highway program and the 40th anniversary of the Interstate System, it grew out of an earlier occasion--FHWA's 100th birthday in 1993. On November 24, 1992, during the first meeting of the 100th Year Celebration Committee, participants thought a calendar of all centennial events would be a good idea.
