1991: Federal Highway Administration leadership adopts the vision, mission, values, and goals statement drafted by Agency staff during FHWA 2000. The vision begins: "Meet the Nation's need for the safe, efficient and environmentally sound movement of people and goods, and be world renowned in surface transportation expertise and innovation." The statement evolved from a draft prepared by over 130 FHWA employees during a 3-day session in Fredericksburg, VA, and review of the draft by 2,835 employees in a series of 145 "cascading" sessions. The nearly 3,000 pages of data resulting from this process were analyzed by a Consensus Team of employees meeting in Ballston, VA, during 2 weeks in September 1991.

2000: 4x4 Evolution was released to Windows, Macintosh, PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast (initial release).

2002: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was released on the PlayStation 2 (initial release).
