In 1967, functions of the Bureau of Public Roads were transferred to which agency?

Answer: B — Federal Highway Administration

The Bureau of Public Roads was responsible for overseeing the development of the nation’s highway system and its various components. In 1967, when the Department of Transportation (DOT) was established, many of the functions and responsibilities of the Bureau of Public Roads were transferred to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This agency specifically took on the role of managing federal funding programs related to highway construction and maintenance, ensuring that the nation's infrastructure was developed in a systematic and efficient manner. The FHWA continues to play a critical role in highway transportation planning, safety initiatives, and infrastructure growth, thus directly inheriting the functions previously held by the Bureau of Public Roads. The other entities listed, such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Public Utility Commission, serve different purposes and areas of regulation and do not encompass the same responsibilities related to highway development and funding.
