(1) Beyond Traffic 2045, a comprehensive as-
sessment of the national transportation system re-
cently published by the Department of Transpor-
tation, identified transportation trends that need to 
be proactively addressed, including— 
(A) the population of the United States 
will increase by 70,000,000 during the 30-year 
period ending in 2045; 
(B) emerging megaregions could absorb 75 
percent of the United States population by 
2050; 
(C) freight volume will increase by more 
than 40 percent by 2045; 
(D) Americans are currently stuck in traf-
fic for more than 42 hours each year, on aver-
age; 
(E) the current annual cost of congestion 
in 
delays 
and 
lost 
fuel 
amounts 
to 
$160,000,000,000; 
(F) 96 people die in motor vehicle crashes 
in the United States every day, on average, and

portation system through innovative and creative 
means, utilizing both the public and the private sec-
tors. 
(4) By asking American cities to use emerging 
transportation technologies to address their most
