NEED FOR FEDERAL SUPPORT FOR TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

A commitment to technological progress is tantamount to a commitment to the future. This paper addresses three subjects: (1) why it is important for the federal government to help develop transportation technology; (2) what the Clinton administration sees as the federal role in supporting technology development and deployment; and (3) the threats to continued government support of research. In conclusion, it is stated that the Clinton administration has been supporting the new generation of American transportation technology, and this commitment will only deepen as the need for advanced technology grows. Efforts will be redoubled to: increase the federal government's outreach to entrepreneurs and inventors, build partnerships with universities and private industry, and fight for more funding for transportation research and development.
