摘要：	This is the statement of John H. Anderson, Jr., Managing Director, Physical Infrastructure, before the Subcommittee on Transportation, Committee on Appropriations, U.S. Senate regarding the critical challenges facing the Department of Transportation (DOT). With $58.5 billion in funding for fiscal year 2001, the Department faces critical challenges in achieving its goals of ensuring safe and efficient movement of people and goods and in making cost-effective investments in the nation's transportation infrastructure. For surface transportation safety, DOT continues to face challenges in improving the safety of highways and pipelines. For example, in 1999, about 5,400 people died in crashes involving large trucks. For other surface transportation issues, DOT and the Congress face challenges in improving the oversight of large-dollar highway and transit projects, strengthening the financial condition of Amtrak, and enhancing freight rail competition. For aviation, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) continues to face considerable challenges in managing its multibillion-dollar air traffic control (ATC) modernization program, addressing shortcomings in its safety and security programs, and resolving long-standing weaknesses in its financial management. Improvements are needed in the Coast Guard's 20-year, $10 billion project to replace or modernize its fleet of deepwater ships and aircraft. Finally, an overriding challenge facing DOT as well as the entire federal government is the lack of attention to strategic human capital management.
