The percentage <strong>of</strong> unpaved roads that are nonsurfaced dropped from approximately 42% in the 1960s to about 37% in the first half <strong>of</strong> the 1970s, to about 32% in 1980 andhas held at about 22% since 1985.d Data no longer available for paved minor collectors and local public roads.NOTESA public road is any road under the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> and maintained by a public authority (federal, state, county, town or township, local government or instrumentality there<strong>of</strong>) and opento public travel. No consistent data on private road mileage are available (although prior to 1980 some nonpublic roadway mileage are included). Most data are provided by the statesto the <strong>US</strong> DOT Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
