Don't blame Federal officials, FHWA remains a metric sumpter and they use it especially in publications. It was the politicians that killed it.
"Once the change to metric actually hit the nation's streets and bridges, there was an uproar from state officials because of the practical difficulties they faced, said David Bernhardt, the State DOT's assistant director of project development and an engineer. It didn't take long before federal officials backed off and the mandate was reduced to a recommendation."
