A directive is a written
communication that prescribes or establishes policy, organization, methods,
procedures, requirements, guidelines, or delegations of authority. It also
provides information essential to the administration or operation of the
FHWA. All directives are written in plain language according to the general
writing and formatting guidelines in FHWA
Order H 1321.1B, FHWA Directives Management Program Handbook, dated
April 10, 2000.
Policy memorandums are official FHWA issuances that establish new and/or revised policy and guidance for implementing the requirements related to FHWA's programs. Click on the links to the left to access the individual categories of FHWA directives and policy memorandums. |

NOTE: All references to the former regions and regional offices in existing FHWA directives and other issuances are superseded by appropriate reference to the new field organizational structure pending the eventual revision of those issuances.
Although we make every effort to assure that the information we provide is complete and accurate, it is not intended to take the place of published agency regulations. Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation and its Operating Administrations are published in the Federal Register and compiled in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Copies of appropriate volumes of the CFR in book format may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, or examined at many libraries.
