| 摘要： | The United States Conference of Mayors commissioned this survey of mayors to determine metropolitan surface transportation infrastructure needs and where the Obama Administration and Congress should prioritize surface transportation investments in the reauthorization of the federal surface transportation law. Mayors throughout the United States were surveyed from March 14 to April 8, 2011. During this period, 176 cities in 43 states, including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, responded to the survey. Cities with populations up to 100,000 comprised the largest group (99 cities, or 56%); cities of 100,000 to 500,000 comprised the second largest group (53 cities, or 30%); and cities over 500,000 in population (24 cities) totaled 14 percent of the survey. The South region comprised the largest number of cities (59 cities, or 34%); the West region was second with 51 cities (29%); the Midwest region followed with 40 cities (23%); and the Northeast region (22 cities) totaled 13 percent of the survey. Cities in Puerto Rico comprised the smallest group in the survey (four cities, or two percent). For each of the reports findings, calculations are based on the number of cities responding to that survey question. Specifically, the survey sought information from mayors on: (1) the quality of transportation infrastructure; (2) challenges in using transportation as part of broader strategies to reduce congestion, improve livability, and increase economic competitiveness; (3) transportation projects being delayed or cancelled due to uncertainty with the federal funding programs; (4) support for increased federal spending on surface transportation infrastructure; (5) support for an increase in the federal gas tax for transportation infrastructure improvements; (6) support for reforms in federal transportation programs to allow cities and their metropolitan areas to receive federal funds directly; (7) technical capacity to manage federal funding directly; (8) local funding |
