    • Abstract:
      For FY1999, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requested total funding of approximately $43 billion, a 1% increase over the FY1998 enacted level of $39 billion. The FY1999 budget request for the DOT was similar in may respects to the FY 1998 appropriation. There are many "macro" issues or factors that are influencing the debate over the Administration's FY1999 budget request. Some of them have been carried over from the previous fiscal year. Complicating the budget process had been the delay associated with reauthorizing many of the Department's programs. The recently concluded reauthorization of surface transportation programs will dramatically effect the FY1999 appropriations process. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (P.L. 105-178, TEA21) provides for an increase in spending at a level above that contemplated in the Administration budget request. In addition, the new legislation provides a new budget environment for highways and transit programs that limits the ability of the appropriations process to alter spending for these activities. In its FY1999 request, the Administration reiterated that safety is its highest priority, followed by technology development, environmental enhancement, infrastructure needs, and innovative financing. The budget proposal included requests of: $3.3 billion for direct safety funding; $30.0 billion for infrastructure investments; $1.1 billion for transportation research and development (R&D); and $0.6 billion for Amtrak.
