The book is written for those, young and old, who wish to have a non-technical account of the great scientific and material triumphs which man has achieved and is achieving in their own day; and it seemed desirable to give first place to those theories, facts, and accomplishments which are now exercising the greatest influence upon human life. For science exists not so much to tickle the intelligences of the few as to brighten the lot of the many.

This report contains selected information on toll facilities in the United States. The information is based on a survey of facilities in operation, financed, or under construction as of January 1, 1999, and is presented in six tables. Table T-1 contains information such as the name, financing or operating authority, location and termini, feature crossed, length, and road system for toll roads, bridges, tunnels, and ferries that connect highways. Table T-2 contains a list of those projects under serious consideration as toll facilities, awaiting completion of financing arrangements, or proposed as new toll facilities that are being studied for financial and operational feasibility. Also included are four tables containing data on receipts and disbursements of toll facilities. These four tables are published in the "1997 Highway Statistics" as Table SF-3B, Table SF-4B, Table LGF-3B and Table LGF-4B. Beginning with this issue of "Toll Facilities in the United States," a section has been added containing available names, addresses, and phone numbers of toll authorities; all toll authorities are not included.
