This report presents the interim, preliminary findings on the evaluation of bond financing for use in highway finance in Texas. It provides preliminary information that can be used by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and others in deciding whether or not to include the issuance of bonds in the mix of funding that is available for highway investment. Use of bond financing is not, ultimately, a way of financing expenditures. This is an interim report that presents preliminary findings, mainly on the rate-of-return analysis, and no specific implementation recommendations are made at this time.

The decision to bond or to pay-as-you-go must be made on a case-by-case basis where all of the relevant concerns are taken into consideration. Research has allowed us to develop the following general conclusions: The interest cost of bonding is not outweighed by the effects of inflation. nterest payments impose a real cost on bond issuers. Continual bonding may result in there being less funds available for other uses, but this effect may be outweighed by the benefits bonding affords. The principal benefit of bonding is that it allows projects to be completed sooner.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
