New Federal Transport Bill Unlikely
Low funding and attempts to gut environmental rules are blocking the Transportation Equity Act.
Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he doubts Congress will reauthorize TEA-21 this year. "The Bush administration has proposed $190 billion to be spent through 2009, but transportation industry groups have been calling for at least $375 billion. ...Reid said, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, has indicated he wants to link transportation funding to the elimination of clean air and endangered species laws."
