Description (excerpt):

National transportation policy has lost direction and a clear sense of purpose, threatening substantial costs to our collective prosperity, security, environment, and quality of life. We are recommending bold and comprehensive reform founded on a relatively simple proposition: U.S. transportation policy needs to be more performance-driven, more directly linked to a set of clearly articulated goals, and more accountable for results.

Two central questions have motivated and guided NTPP’s analytical work and deliberations over the nearly two years since the Project was launched:

  • Why and for what purposes should the federal government invest in transportation?
  • How can the federal government ensure that any greater investment be wiser investment that effectively advances national purposes?
