  • Abstract:
    The transportation system in the United States is at a critical juncture. The system ; carries more people and goods than ever before, and travel demand is certain to ; continue to grow. Failure to accommodate that demand will threaten our ability to ; compete in the international marketplace, and it will jeopardize jobs, the nation’s ; economic stability, and our quality of life. ; The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, which provided the basis for ; our current transportation programs and funding, expires in 1997. As Congress begins ; structuring the next transportation legislation, it will be taking a hard look at the who, ; what, when, where, and even why of federal involvement in transportation. ; AASHTO members-the departments of highways and transportation in the 50 ; states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia-are responsible for planning, ; designing, building, and operating the infrastructure needed for our nation’s transportation ; system. After extensive discussions and deliberations, they recently approved a ; series of policy statements on the next generation of federal surface transportation ; legislation: ; Federalism: Federalism and Reauthorization of the Intermodal Surface ; Transportation Efficiency Act ; Planning: Issues in Planning and Recommendations ; Environment: Environmental Issues and Transportation ; Research: Innovation for Transportation ; Finance: Alternative Financing Proposals ; The Bottom Line: Transportation Investment Needs 1998-2002 ; This report summarizes the recommendations contained in those policy statements.
