		<description><![CDATA[North Carolina DO T.
With highway construction costs soaring
several times faster than the Consumer Price
Index, each state agency needs its own cost
index to plan future expenditures. A highway
construction cost index unique to your agency
would help you to more accurately adjust
for inflation and compare your costs to other
states. Each SASHTO state could benefit
from numerically seeing how different or how
similar their predicament is compared to their
neighbors. We will touch on the highlights of
what a cost index is and how to use it.]]></description>
