AASHTO Technical Committee on Geometric Design
AASHTO Standing Committee on Highways AASHTO Subcommittee on Design AASHTO Technical Committee on Geometric Design Provide a focal point and working group for developing and recommending AASHTO geometric design criteria. This assignment includes formulating new and revised criteria to keep current all geometric design standards, polices, and guidelines.
AASHTO Technical Committee on Geometric Design States from each of the four regions FHWA; serves as secretary American Public Works Association League of Cities National Association of County Engineers
