Overview:

A couple of years late and 835 pages long plus over 1,200 pages of the Conference Report, we finally have a new transportation bill, SAFETEA-LU. Buried within these pages are opportunities (and threats) to TDM programs such as changes to CMAQ and expanded provisions related to high occupancy toll lanes. We also have a new Energy bill and pending amendments that could increase attention on conservation and the higher cost of gasoline. ACT President, Jon Martz, and Jason Pavluchuk, ACT’s government relations representative, provided an overview of how these pieces of legislation will change our industry.
