Abstract:

Federal and state transportation laws form the foundation of domestic transportation policies. However, as currently drafted federal laws are not sufficiently developed to support a megaregion transportation regime and will require a formalized approach to be created so that MPOs and DOTs can scale efforts beyond traditional boundaries. This project forms part of a series of analysis of how megaregional planning can be achieved. It analyzed the United States Constitutional powers of spending, regulating commerce and preemption and provided recommendations for how federal law could be used to conduct megaregional planning at a federal level with recommendations for developing transportation policy.
