DEVOLUTION OF THE FEDERAL ROLE IN URBAN TRANSPORTATION

During the last few years, the federal role in urban transportation has been changing, and the new federal role is based upon two premises. First, the state and local governments and the private sector are closer to the problems and issues in urban transportation and, therefore, are in a better position to make local transportation decisions. Second, transportation decisions should be guided by the marketplace rather than governmental regulations and requirements. A number of steps have already been taken to bring about the shift in the federal role. These steps involved changes to policies, legislation, regulations and programs. This paper reviews the actions that have been taken and looks ahead to the dominant trends that are emerging for the coming decade.
