Re-Establish Transportation as a National Priority • Enactment of reauthorization • Maximum funding • Policy provisions
Post-ReauthorizationConnecting with People • It’s not about roads. It’s about people. • Establish relationships with non-traditional audiences – prepare for next round • Commission on Future Funding
Re-Establish Transportation as a National Priority • 50th Anniversary, Interstate Highway System – a platform for our message • Connecting with ordinary citizens
Project Delivery – It’s Time to Consider People’s Time • High-speed, incentive, and creative approaches well-received where used. • Time to share concepts and make standard practice • AASHTO embracing this through SCOH, SCOE, SCOP and SCOQ
Environmental Excellence • Gratifying response to Washington Briefing environmental session • Context-sensitive solutions – from task force to AASHTO committee
Link Land Use and Transportation – A Missing Link • Congestion continues to plague us. • New demand is overwhelming traditional capacity increases • Demand can be eased by land use and connectivity planning • AASHTO land-use and transportation workshop, September 2005
