ISTEA Reauthorization Policy

Statement and Principles

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary,

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of policy statement and

principles that will be used to guide the

development of a legislative proposal

for the reauthorization of the Federal

surface transportation programs.

SUMMARY: The Intermodal Surface

Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991

(ISTEA) authorized funding for surface

transportation programs through

September 30, 1997. Those programs

and the implementing statutory

authority which are contained in ISTEA

are core elements of the Federal surface

transportation policy and programs

administered by the Department of

Transportation.

Transportation is vital to our

economic prosperity and quality of life.

The United States is facing major

challenges in providing safe and

convenient travel, serving new patterns

of freight shipments and changing

regional populations, and taking

advantage of the explosion of

information technology that holds the

promise of better transportation at lower

cost. If we are to remain competitive in

the global marketplace and maintain our

quality of life, we must meet those

challenges. As America increasingly

becomes part of a larger global economy,

transportation will only become more

important to our standard of living.

To that end, the Department of

Transportation has begun a process

which will lead to a proposal for

reauthorizing the major surface

transportation programs. As a first step,

the Department has developed a policy

statement that identifies national

challenges to global marketplace

competitiveness and quality of life and

outlines a set of reauthorization policy

principles. The principles set out the

broad objectives that the Administration

hopes to achieve or strengthen through

the reauthorization proposal.

An essential and important part of the

development of the Department’s

reauthorization proposal will be

consultation with the transportation

community and other interested parties.

It is hoped that the policy statement and

principles will provide a starting point

for those discussions. The Department

recently initiated a series of regional

forums which will continue over the

next several months to determine how

our programs and policies should be

shaped to meet the challenges we face.

Hopefully, these efforts will help us to

design Federal surface transportation

programs that responds quickly and

effectively to the changing demands this

Nation will face in the 21st century.

DATES: Comments on the policy

statement and principles are welcomed.

To be most useful, comments on these

issues should be submitted no later than

August 30, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Three copies of comments

for the public docket on the ISTEA

Reauthorization Policy Statement and

Principles should be sent to: Office of

the Secretary, Documentary Services

Division, C–55, Attn: ISTEA Public

Docket OST–96–1447, Room PL 401,

400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington,

D.C. 20590.
