Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation¿s economic vitality and the quality of life depend on the availability, dependability, and security of its surface transportation (ST) network of roads, railways, ports, and transit systems. For the past several decades, demand has outpaced the capacity of the ST system. Furthermore, fed. ST programs are not effectively addressing key challenges, such as congestion, or ensuring that transportation dollars are well spent. This report: (1) identifies key themes emphasized in proposals by stakeholders, incl. assoc. and research org., for restructuring and funding ST programs; and (2) discusses the extent to which various recommendations align with principles developed for evaluating proposals to restructure and fund ST programs.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 500 people assembled for this Second National Conference on Transportation Finance, which featured fresh information on (a) legislative developments since the 1998 enactment of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, (b) the implementation of state and local programs that did not even exist at the time of the first conference (April 1997), and (c) matters for consideration in the 2003 reauthorization of the nation's highway and transit programs. In addition, this conference included sessions devoted specifically to the intersection of finance and technology, especially the potential for wireless and scanning technologies to provide new opportunities for generating revenues and new partnerships between the public and private sectors. The conference program was designed not only to have speakers impart information but also to provide time for participants to share information. Thus, the heart of the conference was a series of 12 special topics sessions. These sessions addressed a broad range of subjects, from approaches to measuring the costs and benefits of selected financing strategies to real-world examples of public-private partnerships, with contracts and franchise agreements that may include not only design and construction services but also financing, operations, and maintenance. The proceedings are organized as follows: Conference Findings; Summary; Overviews of Current Status and Future Trends; Special Topics; Innovative Finance Beyond the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century; Synthesis; Resource Papers; Glossary and Acronyms; Committee Member Biographical Information; and a List of Participants.
Download or read book Surface Transportation Funding and Programs Under MAP 21 Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act P L 112 141 written by Robert S. Kirk and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 6, 2012, President Barack Obama signed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21; P.L. 112-141). The act authorized spending on federal highway and public transportation programs, surface transportation safety and research, and some rail programs and activities through September 30, 2014. MAP-21 authorized roughly $105 billion for FY2013 and FY2014 combined. It also extended FY2012 surface transportation authorizations to the end of the fiscal year, raising the total authorization to approximately $118 billion. Most of the funding for surface transportation bills has been drawn from the highway trust fund (HTF) since its creation in 1956, but the HTF, which receives revenue mainly from federal motor fuel taxes, has experienced declining revenue due to a sluggish economy and improvements in vehicle fuel efficiency. For the past several years, HTF revenue has been insufficient to finance the government's surface transportation programs, leading Congress to delay reauthorization for 33 months following expiration of the last multi-year reauthorization. Although Congress was unable to agree on a long-term solution to the HTF revenue issue, MAP-21 did provide for the transfer of sufficient general fund revenues to the HTF to fund a two-year bill. MAP-21 made major changes in the programmatic structure for both highways and public transportation and included initiatives intended to increase program efficiency through performance-based planning and the streamlining of project development. Among its major provisions, MAP-21 included: for the federal-aid highway program, research, and education, authorizations for FY2013 of $40.96 billion and for FY2014 of $41.03 billion; for public transportation, authorizations for FY2013 of $10.58 billion and for FY2014 of $10.7 billion; for the Transportation Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (TIFIA), which provides credit assistance for surface transportation projects, a significant expansion that could provide credit support of up to $690 million for FY2013 and $9.2 billion for FY2014; major program restructuring, which reduced the number of highway programs by two-thirds and consolidated public transportation programs as well; more distribution of funding via apportionment to the states and less discretionary funding via the Department of Transportation (DOT) to individual projects; no project earmarks; no equity program, instead basing the distribution of highway funding on the FY2012 distribution such that each state will likely receive as much federal highway funding as its highway users paid to the highway account of the HTF; and changes in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance process intended to accelerate project delivery.
