"Some of the New York area's leading transportation officials and advocates gathered at NYU's Rudin Center yesterday to talk about the practical and political hurdles of adopting a purposeful transportation policy based on goals and measurable data.
"They were on hand to discuss Performance Driven, the report released last summer by the Bipartisan Policy Center's National Transportation Policy Project. The main thrust of the report is that America's transportation policy needs national objectives. We can't just divide the spoils of the gas tax between states and call it a day. With a more Vulcan approach to our decisions, the report suggests, we can build a safer, greener, more efficient transportation network."
