City Leaders Point to Transportation Crisis, Call for Change
NACTO joins Representative James Oberstar, the Chair of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, in calling for a renewed federal focus on transportation, and new federal transportation priorities and policies.
"Cities on are on the front-line of our transportation and infrastructure struggles," said NACTO President Janette Sadik-Khan, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation and NACTO President. "Metropolitan areas have most of America's infrastructure and all of our congestion, and the infrastructure funding gap and policy bottlenecks we face add up to a national problem of the first order," said Commissioner Sadik-Khan. "The federal government has got to get back in the game if we are to forge a transportation system that serves as the foundation for our economy and quality of life in the 21st Century."
