Abstract:Federal transportation authorizing bills have a huge impact on the direction of the nation’s transportation programs. Not
only do they provide the funding to carry out national programs, but they also contain the policy frameworks that will guide
the use of state and local funds over the period of the bill.
The existing federal authorization expired on October 1, 2009. The nation has operated under a series of continuing
resolutions since that time. In anticipation of the end of the authorization and the debate on a new authority, the states of
the Mississippi Valley Freight Coalition (MVFC) identified defining regional positions on reauthorization as one of its
priority projects.
This effort built upon an earlier effort by the MVFC to agree on broad concepts and to prepare testimony. That testimony
was presented to the National Surface Transportation Revenue and Policy Commission by Teresa Adams (UW-Madison)
and Kirk Steudle (Michigan DOT).
