National Highway System. A network of primary highways and ferry routes designated by the FHWA, U.S. Department of Transportation, considered most important to interstate travel, national defense, connection with other modes of transportation, and are essential to international commerce. The focus of the NHS is the long-range movement of people, goods, and services. Currently, 2,100 miles of highway and 1,900 miles of ferry routes, including designated terminals and all eight vessels of the Alaska Marine Highway System are eligible to receive NHS funding, for which the ADOT&PF is responsible. The federal funds ratio varies and is either 93.4% or 90.7% depending upon the specific category of work. ADOT&PF's goal is to upgrade the NHS over a 14-year period.
National Highway System – A federally designated 160,000 mile system providing an interconnected system of principal arterial routes to serve major travel destinations and population centers, international border crossings, as well as ports, airports, public transportation facilities, and other intermodal transportation facilities. The NHS must also meet national defense requirements and serve interstate and interregional travel. Eligible projects include new construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of highways, operational improvements, mass transit projects in an NHS corridor, safety improvements, transportation planning, traffic management and control, parking facilities, carpool projects, and bicycle and pedestrian projects. In areas that do not meet federal clean air standards, up to one hundred percent of NHS funding is transferable to the STP (see p. 14) upon request of the State.
National Highway System. Involves transferring Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for transit projects. The NHS provides for a wide range of transportation activities. Eligible transit projects include fringe and corridor parking facilities, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, vanpool projects, and public transportation facilities in NHS corridors. (Not to be confused with the Neighborhood Housing Services program.)
National Highway System. A proposed transportation system consisting of approximately 155,000 miles of highway in order to provide an interconnected system of principal arterial routes serving major population centers, major transportation facilities, major travel destinations, interstate and interregional travel and meeting national defense requirements. The NHS, defined in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Effic iency Act (ISTEA), is one component of the National Transportation System (NTS).
Next Hop Server. A logical component of MPOA; it resides on a router, is part of NHRP, and participates in address resolution.
National Highway System. A federal transportation program authorized by ISTEA that designates nationally significant interstate highways and roads for interstate travel, national defense, intermodal connections, and international commerce. Other eligible activities include bikeways and park-and-ride lots. The NHS is currently being developed as the first component of a larger, intermodal National Transportation System.
Neighborhood Housing Services. Organizations in the NeighborWorks® network are often called Neighborhood Housing Services (NHS), for example, Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago and Los Angeles Neighborhood Housing Services. Neighborhood Reinvestment was established by Congress in 1978 to replicate the resident-led partnership model of Pittsburgh Neighborhood Housing Services. Most of the organizations created in the following decade called themselves an NHS.
