AASHTO VE-3

This document provides guidelines for establishing and administering VE programs. It is the intent of these guidelines to assist state DOTs in developing successful VE programs, to promote the acceptance and use of VE, and assure compliance with federal VE requirements, while allowing maximum flexibility to each state. To improve design excellence and achieve efficient cost and quality control, it is AASHTO's position that each state should establish an ongoing VE program.
