Description

In FY 2013, the Department of Transportation (DOT) provided about $50 billion to states and other grantees (such as metropolitan planning organizations and transit agencies) to support highway and transit infrastructure and safety. However, it is not clear if this funding has improved system performance because, in part, these programs have lacked links to performance and national goals. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) transformed surface transportation programs by including provisions for both DOT and its grantees to move toward a national performance-based approach. This report examined (1) the progress that DOT has made in developing a national performance-based approach to surface transportation; and (2) the challenges states and other grantees report facing in implementing this approach. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
