Every five to six years, congress authorizes funding for the coming 5-6 year period for all surface transportation projects, including highways and bridges, public transportation and bicycling & pedestrian networks. The current bill, SAFETEA-LU, expires in September, 2009, and congress will be deciding how to spend our tax dollars over the coming months. The Transportation for America campaign is proposing a broad reform agenda to meet the challenges of the 21st century, and the implications of this next bill cannot be understated.
