Letter to Senators Barbara Boxer and James Inhofe, Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works

“Over the last three years, the National Transportation Policy Project (NTPP) of the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) has urged that Congress, in developing legislation to authorize the nation’s surface transportation programs, establish the basis for a true performance-based program, implementing principles of national goals, outcomes, and accountability. We are pleased that the bill you have introduced, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) proposes essential and groundbreaking first steps toward such a reformed national surface transportation program.”
