Motorists Asked to Share Their "Great American Road Trip"

WASHINGTON, May 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- State transportation officials
are asking motorists to take a brief detour down memory lane before setting
off on their summer vacations this year. The American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and its Are We There Yet? We Can
Be! campaign is looking for America's Great Road Trip stories. AASHTO is
gathering these stories throughout the summer as part of a nationwide effort
to highlight the joys and discoveries associated with the open road.

"It might be your first family vacation or the last one you took together
before leaving home. It might be a cross-country adventure to the Grand Canyon
or a trip to the ocean for the very first time. Everyone has a great road trip
story," said John Horsley, AASHTO Executive Director. "And no matter what or
where you traveled, we want to share your stories in the hopes that they'll
inspire others to discover America."

To share your "Great American Road Trip," go to
http://AreWeThereYet.transportation.org and tell your story in 300 words or
less. Then check back to read what others have posted. Prizes will be awarded
through random drawings each month. All great stories are welcome.

State transportation officials are working to create a better transportation
system. Are we there yet? With smart solutions, wise investment and
community involvement, we can be!

(AASHTO) is the "Voice of Transportation" representing State Departments of
Transportation in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
