The upcoming federal transportation reauthorization is an opportunity to shape how billions of dollars will be spent on our transportation infrastructure. Our new policy proposals for the upcoming reauthorization focus on radically updating this program to make it more accountable to taxpayers, helping them achieve their primary goals of improving safety and infrastructure conditions, reducing congestion, and protecting the environment and public health. With the clock ticking, it’s critical that advocates, local leaders, and policymakers understand what’s at stake—and how they can influence the outcome.
Join us for our webinar series that will explore our new policy proposals for reauthorization and how you can get involved. Our policy proposals are not a menu of ideas for Congress to choose from and graft onto the existing program. They are an interwoven package of essential reforms needed to bring this outdated and failing program into the 21st Century. Without this comprehensive approach, additional federal funding would be a waste of the taxpayers’ money.
Whether you’re new to transportation policy or a seasoned advocate, this series will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to inspire a safer, more sustainable transportation system. Learn more about our three sessions and register below.
The future of federal transportation: Fix it First and Accountability
Despite spending $1.5 trillion over the last 30 years, the federal transportation program has failed to deliver results. This session will take a closer look at whether the program is worth saving, and unpack our policy proposals that would hold agencies accountable for real outcomes and prioritize fixing it first. Our Director, Beth Osborne, and Policy Manager, Corrigan Salerno, will give you a deep dive on how our policy proposals will help us achieve the results that Americans want. Join us for the conversation on Wednesday, June 4, from 12-1 p.m. Register here.
The future of federal transportation: Safety over speed and Invest in the Rest
Despite listing safety as a key priority, our roads are much more dangerous than the rest of the developed world. Our transportation system continues to prioritize and reward moving cards fast over safely and efficiently getting everyone where they need to go. Our policy proposals can change the U.S.’s dismal performance on safety and the complete transportation system.. Tune in on Wednesday, June 18th, from 12-1 p.m. for a conversation with our AVP of Transportation, Steve Davis, and other T4 staff on designing our roads for safety and investing in public transit and passenger rail to create more prosperous communities. Register here.
