One of the most innovative components found in the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) was the short-lived mandate requiring all 50 states to develop ISTEA Management System plans for six management systems. ISTEA legislation states: 'Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this section, the Secretary shall issue regulations for State development, establishment, and implementation of a system for managing each of the following: (1) Highway pavement on the Federal-aid system; (2) Bridges on and off Federal-aid highways; (3) Highway safety; (4) Traffic congestion; (5) Public transportation facilities and equipment; and (6) Intermodal transportation facilities and systems. This mandate was one of the key provisions in ISTEA and effective compliance in linking management system plans within each state was viewed as a way to reinforce the intermodal focus of ISTEA. The objective of the management system format is that, through system integration, it allows consideration of an entire network for the allocation of scarce resources for design, operations, planning, maintenance, and policy making.
