The Outdoor Advertising Control Program

Needs To Be Reassessed


The Highway Beautification Act of 1965 required that
states control outdoor advertising along federally
funded interstate and primary highways. Since the
enactment of the act, thousands of outdoor adver-
tising signs have been removed to enhance the
natural beauty of the nation's highways. However,
many prohibited signs are still standing and are likely
to remain so because federal funds are not being
appropriated to compensate sign owners for their
removal, as required by the act.

Accomplishing the goal of the Highway Beautification
Act will require either additional federal funding or a
change in the compensation requirement of the act,
as amended. GAO recommends that the Congress
reassess the outdoor advertising control program. In
making this reassessment the Congress will need to
weigh the program's goal and requirements against
program costs.
