TEA 21 Reauthorization Strategy

The Highway Users Planning and Government Affairs Committee (PGA) is made up of policy experts from various businesses and organizations within The Highway Users. Over the last six months, the PGA Committee, chaired by Taylor Bowlden of 3M, met several times to outline nine brief policy papers to present pro-highway recommendations to Congress and the Administration on reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA 21).

At The Highway Users Annual Meeting, volunteers from the PGA presented the papers to attendees. The briefs covered the following key issues: Safety, Congestion, Funding, Quality Growth, Non-Metropolitan Roads, Transit, Trade Corridors, Research, and the Environment. After a discussion at the annual meeting, it was agreed to finalize the papers and prepare them for public release. The papers will be bound together and graphics will be added for delivery to Congressional and Department of Transportation staff in January. Copies will be made available to all Highway Users members.
