Abstract

This paper discusses the role of government in transportation. Two key questions are the focus of this paper: (1) Where does the federal government get the power to regulate transportation? And (2) Why don't we let the principles of laissez fair operate more extensively in public transportation? The government's role in transportation has three distinct levels and function. These levels are urban, state and federal. There needs to be a firm decision on what we expect transportation to accomplish as a national objective. This paper presents the role of each level in transportation and determines what the role for the federal government should be in transportation.
