In the weeks leading up to the federal surface transportation vote on a short-term extension, a few members of Congress started touting that we will have a five-year bill soon. But it comes with a caveat: flat-funding for roads, bridges and transit systems.

Would the DRIVE Act Spend Federal Funds More Effectively?

It has been six years since the transportation community had the opportunity to mull over a six-year transportation bill written by a Congressional Committee. The new DRIVE (Developing a Reliable and Innovative Vision for the Economy) Act, from the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, and the Surface Transportation Assistance Act, which came from Chairman Jim Oberstar and the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, have one important thing in common – they are coming out of an authorizing committee with no indication that there is any financing in place to pay for them. Congress would need to come up with at least $100 billion to fund this new long-term bill. This means that enacting the DRIVE Act into law is a long shot.
