Abstract

This paper describes how federal transportation policy is being guided under a new philosophy, whereby the federal government's proper role is to create the economic climate within which the states can plan and carry out their own transportation programs, and within which transportation operators can supply the public demand at the lowest possible cost to the taxpayer. In general, those who benefit directly from the American transportation system-the users-should have to bear a bigger share of the costs.
