			<gmd:abstract>
				<gco:CharacterString>The Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) 2024 dataset was compiled December 23, 2025 by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The data represents a snapshot of extent, usage, condition, and performance as of December 31, 2024. This file geodatabase download provides HPMS data for each state as an individual feature class. The HPMS has additional documentation available here: https://github.com/FHWA/HPMS/blob/2024-HPMS/README_2024_HPMS_All.md, which details known limitations and provides necessary disclaimers. The HPMS consists of the All Road Network of Linear Referenced Data (ARNOLD) geometry and the Section Data which is the attribution. ARNOLD and Sections are linked through linear referencing and are part of the HPMS data program. These data are analytical for supporting transportation programs, funding and policy decisions at a national level. Operational applications such as navigation and routing may use HPMS, understanding that it is not a “real-time” system, nor is it the primary focus of the data collection. The Highway Performance Monitoring System Field Manual contains a detailed description of each data element including coding instructions and attribute definitions. The Field Manual is available at: https://doi.org/10.21949/1519108.</gco:CharacterString>
			</gmd:abstract>
			<gmd:purpose>
				<gco:CharacterString>The HPMS provides data that reflects the extent, condition, performance, use, and operating characteristics of the nation's highways. It supports and informs highway planning, policy making, and decision making at the national, state, and local levels. HPMS is updated annually.  </gco:CharacterString>

								<gco:CharacterString>FHWA receives processes, analyzes, disseminates and uses information provided by the States through HPMS. The data States provide though HPMS are considered their data, not FHWA's. The quality and integrity of these data rest with the States and are dependent on their processes and procedures used to collect and create the basic data inputs.  Subsequent errors that are detected will be passed back to the State DOT for investigation and if confirmed, will be corrected in the following HPMS cycle. FHWA headquarters provides an overall coordination role in the HPMS process. The information portrayed in the Highway Statistics tables represent the official calculations for national Extent, Condition and performance data and are compiled by enterprise database methodologies. Reporting standards are set out in the HPMS Field Manual and reporting software has been developed and provided to the States via the User Profile and Access Control System (UPACS). Technical assistance, guidance and training are regularly provided to Division Offices and the States, and data are reviewed against prior year reports, normative trends and other States to identify possible improvement areas.</gco:CharacterString>
