KEEP THE GOOD TIMES ROLLING: ISTEA SUCCESS STORIES

Charles Hoffman, L Paulson

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) emphasizes intermodalism--the seamless linking of highway, rail, air, and marine transportation--and flexibility in forming new partnerships with states, localities, and the private sector. This article highlights more than 20 ISTEA project successes, allowing readers to glimpse at the varied and important work conducted under this legislation. With ISTEA due to expire in 1997, the Federal Highway Administration is working to develop new legislation, revisiting current ISTEA efforts to learn more about exceptionally good projects and programs.
