NEW ERA FOR TRANSPORTATION--INTRODUCTION

W W Millar

Abstract

The signing by President Bush of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) in December 1991 and the initiation of other transportation legislation enhance the likelihood of meeting many of the necessary short- and long-term goals for safe and effective transportation. With passage of ISTEA also comes the establishment of several new councils and commissions to further investigate methods for improvement in the areas of surface transportation, research and technology, and education and training. Highlighted in this special issue of TR News is the effect of ISTEA and other federal legislation on transportation research and development by various federal agencies.
