National Transportation
Policy Project
Project Co-Chairs
Mark Warner, former Virginia Governor

Slade Gorton, former Washington Senator
The National Transportation Policy Project, co-chaired by former Virginia Governor Mark Warner, former United States Senator Slade Gorton of Washington, and former United States Congressmen Sherwood Boehlert of New York, brings together a diverse group of experts to create a new vision of transportation policy, one that focuses on national economic, environmental, and security goals. In particular, it will address how an ideal system of investment in the Nation’s transportation infrastructure would be based on a comprehensive assessment of the economic, social, and environmental impacts of transportation projects to price transportation services accurately, and to allocate funds to the projects that would bring the greatest benefits.
