National Highway System (NHS)

The National Highway System (NHS) is a network of roads in the United States designated for important transportation needs. It includes major highways and routes that facilitate efficient movement of goods, services, and people across cities and states. The NHS ensures critical connections are maintained and well-funded for safety, reliability, and mobility. It encompasses interstates, major commuter roads, and key urban routes, playing a vital role in national economic stability and emergency response. By focusing resources on these essential roads, the NHS helps support smooth, safe, and efficient travel across the country.
