Surface Transportation Funding and Programs Under MAP-21: Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (P. L. 112-141) by Robert S. Kirk,John Frittelli,Linda Luther,William J. Mallett,David Randall Peterman Pdf
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.
Traffic Management by United States. General Accounting Office Pdf
Traffic congestion on the nation's highways and streets continues to increase and affect mobility, energy conservation, and air quality. GAO evaluated federal efforts to encourage better management of the nation's highways through the use of low-cost transportation systems management techniques. Overall, GAO found that the federal government plays an important role in facilitating the local implementation of such techniques to reduce congestion and improve air quality. This role includes funding assistance, planning requirements, and technical support. These current efforts have not, however, been fully successful in achieving widespread transportation systems management--and particularly transportation demand management--usage. GAO found that: (1) TSM encompasses low-cost techniques for improving the efficiency of surface transportation, including supply management techniques, which include traffic signal coordination and ramp metering, and transportation demand management techniques, which include carpooling and vanpooling; (2) federal efforts to achieve widespread TSM usage have not been fully successful; (3) over the last decade, the actual total expenditures for TSM with federal aid has remained small relative to total allocations; (4) although the federal government has sought to promote better supply and demand management by including certain TSM projects under an incentive provision that included other operational improvements, the provision has not significantly influenced the amount of TSM implemented; (5) transportation planning requirements alone appear to be insufficient to guarantee that TSM and transportation demand management are implemented, due to local reluctance to fully embrace transportation demand management and an uncertain connection between transportation planning and any consequent project funding; (6) federal policy could further support innovative strategies to better manage traffic demand through ongoing technical assistance; and (7) due to 1990 Clean Air Act requirements, the need for technical assistance could increase greatly.
Transportation Research by United States. Government Accountability Office Pdf
DOT's Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA)-which includes the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS)- oversees DOT's RD & T activities. GAO examined (1) how RITA's responsibilities for overseeing DOT's RD & T activities differ from those of its predecessor, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA); (2) RITA's practices for coordinating, facilitating, and reviewing RD & T activities; (3) the progress DOT has made in implementing GAO's 2003 recommendations on how to improve the coordination and evaluation of RD & T activities; and (4) how BTS identifies and monitors how well it serves its users. To address these issues, GAO reviewed relevant documentation and interviewed officials from RITA, BTS, and three operating administrations.
In FY 2013, the Department of Transportation (DOT) provided about $50 billion to states and other grantees (such as metropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies) to support highway and transit infrastructure and safety. However, it is not clear if this funding has improved system performance because, in part, these programs have lacked links to performance and national goals. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) transformed surface transportation programs by including provisions for both DOT and its grantees to move toward a national performance-based approach. This report examined (1) the progress that DOT has made in developing a national performance-based approach to surface transportation; and (2) the challenges states and other grantees report facing in implementing this approach. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
