ASTM International’s development of standards for transportation began at its founding in 1898, when Committee A01 offered key guidance for building American railways. Over a century later, ASTM committees now support ever-evolving engine technology, road infrastructure, and marine technology, both crewed and uncrewed. Read on to learn how ASTM standards are helping to make travel safe and sustainable across land and sea.
