ARCHITECTS OF CHANGE: CREATING AMERICA'S 21ST CENTURY INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

In this brief article, federal highway administrator Rodney Slater describes how the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) has changed the face of transportation. ISTEA, the landmark legislation that was passed 6 years ago, is breaking down the walls that had separated the transportation modes in legislation, in philosophy, and in practice. This year, 1997, is one in which state and local officials and a diverse group of transportation organizations are supporting reauthorization of ISTEA. Creating America's 21st century intermodal transportation system will require these architects of change.
