Description

Legislation to reauthorize federal surface transportation programs is under consideration in both houses of Congress. The previous transportation authorization, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA, P.L. 109-59), enacted in 2005, expired on Sept. 30, 2009. Since then, surface transportation programs and activities have been operated under a series of extensions. The most recent of these, P.L. 112-30, expires on March 31, 2012. Surface transportation reauthorization is one of the more legislatively complex issues before the Congress, because it addresses matters under the jurisdictions of many committees.
