Surface Transportation Moving into the 21st Century

This report summarizes the views presented at a conference to understand the new transportation challenges & to assess the potential directions that surface transportation policy could take to address them. It brought together transportation experts from the Congress, academia, state departments of transportation, local planning agencies, research institutions, investment banks, & the federal government. They offered provocative thoughts on the wide-ranging challenges & issues facing current policymakers. Their remarks also provided an early look at surface transportation issues that the Congress might debate when authorizing legislation succeeding the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.Christoff, Joseph is the author of 'Surface Transportation Moving into the 21st Century' with ISBN 9780788188954 and ISBN 078818895X.
