摘要：	This 2008 Transportation Plan lays out the Administration's framework for completely overhauling the way U.S. transportation decisions and investments are made. It is intended to spur local, state and federal debate about how best to incorporate the new reforms into the highway legislation Congress will begin work on in the fall of 2008. The plan also will reform the nation's transportation programs. It will consolidate the 102 various transportation programs that have sprouted up over the past two decades. These programs dilute the effects of federal funding by forcing state and local officials to fund projects such as recreational trails, while projects that would make a difference for commuters languish. Under this proposal, there will be eight core spending programs that are as targeted as they are flexible. Ultimately, the plan will renew the nation's transportation network because this new approach will lead to massive new investments in Interstate highways. It will lead to more efficient roads and new transit systems in the nation's cities. It will bring easier and quicker commutes. And it will cut shipping times in an economy where every minute of delay can make the difference between success and failure for our businesses. Most important, this plan will renew America's belief in our transportation network. / Availability Note: Also available on CD-ROM. Product reproduced from digital image.
