Abstract:The National Economic Crossroads Transportation Efficiency Act (NEXTEA), is a six-year, $175 billion investment program to improve America's highways, bridges, transit systems, and railroads; lower the toll in lives and health care costs from motor vehicle crashes; enhance America's environment; and support mobility and economic prosperity. NEXTEA increases surface transportation funding by $17 billion, or 11%, over the level authorized by ISTEA. The four key goals of NEXTEA are: "Rebuilding America" - $175 billion investment while balancing the budget; putting a stronger emphasis on safety; protecting the environment; and, investing $600 million to move people from welfare to work.
