The US is facing a national transportation dilemma in system performance and funding which will lead to dramatic changes in government policy. The next national transportation authorization is considered the most critical since 1956, the year the interstate highway system and the trust fund were founded. This bill will chart the path for transportation in the 21st century. What are the options that may be the pillars for the authorization? Is there a new transportation vision for the nation? Where are we going and how do we get there?
