This book was released on 1998 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing congestion, declining mobility, and deteriorating infrastructure are affecting the performance of surface transportation systems in many of the nation's urban areas. Confronted with these problems, many federal, state, and local agencies are improving and upgrading their highways and mass transit systems and are assisting the private sector in improving transportation facilities. In fiscal year 1998, the federal government will distribute nearly $26 billion to states and localities for the construction and repair of the nation's surface transportation systems. To meet the nation's transportation needs, states and localities are planning or building several large-dollar projects to replace aging infrastructure or build new capacity. These large-dollar projects represent a substantial investment of federal, state, and local transportation funds. In addition, the private sector has begun to participate in the funding of important transportation projects. Large-dollar infrastructure projects present several major challenges to federal, state, and local transportation officials. First, they are very costly and require large commitments of public resources that may take several years to garner from federal, state, and local sources. Because of the high costs of these projects, their financial packages are complex and may include debt financing to cover construction costs. Second, the projects can be technically challenging to construct and require their sponsors to resolve a wide range of social, environmental, land-use, and economic challenges before and during construction.

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.
