The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has created an interactive web page centered around the findings of its Congressionally mandated report, "Renewing the National Commitment to the Interstate Highway System: A Foundation for the Future".

The report went on to call for a 20-year “blueprint for action,” which includes creating an “Interstate Highway System Renewal and Modernization Program,” increasing the federal fuel tax to help pay for it, and allowing tolls and per-mile-charges on more interstate routes.
The web page provides a quick overview of the challenges outlined within the report, featuring images, maps, graphs, downloadable graphics, videos and other content which visually highlights the issues the interstate highway system is facing, plus outlines the blueprint for action and its benefits. Links to the original report and additional resources, as well as committee meeting materials, are also provided.
