"'The existing federal transportation funding structure often acts as an impediment to our future. We need to turn it around and make it into an enabler.' –Martin Sabo, co-chairman of the National Transportation Policy Project and a former U.S. Congressman
"I’ve previously written about the efforts of the National Transportation Policy Project (NTTP), forged by the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC), to significantly retool the over-arching federal policies that guide (and, more importantly, fund) how roads, highways, bridges, and multitude of other pieces that make up the U.S.’s transportation infrastructure.
"A speech by one of the NTTP’s co-chairs reminded me last week that, even though Congress has put off voting and further work on the $500 billion 'highway bill' that guides transportation spending, there’s a desperate need to chart a new course on how, where, and why all that money gets spent."
