It's Time for New Choices
WE SUPPORT a transportation system that enhances quality of life and maintains global competitiveness by reducing congestion and increasing mobility.
If we do nothing, the congestion crisis will hinder productivity, economic opportunity and our ability to remain globally competitive. Our overall quality of life is dependent on improving the efficiency of our transportation system.
The Federal government should encourage and provide incentives for implementation of any and all tools to meet transportation goals including congestion pricing, high occupancy toll lanes, tolling options, truck only lanes, vehicle miles traveled pricing, construction of new capacity facilities and utilization of all types of public private partnership arrangements.
The future transportation system should aggressively advance the adoption of new intelligent transportation system technologies, while maintaining flexibility to adapt to emerging technologies. Technologies should have an open architecture, be interoperable and respond to customer needs.
