Series: U.S. Transit, Transportation and Infrastructure: Considerations and Developments
BISAC: TEC009160

Policymakers at all levels of government are debating a wide range of options for addressing the nations faltering economic conditions. One option that is once again receiving attention is accelerated investments in the nations public infrastructure that is, highways, mass transit, airports, water supply and wastewater, and other facilities in order to create jobs while also promoting long-term economic growth. This book examines policy issues associated with using infrastructure as a mechanism to benefit economic recovery.

Discussed are federal traffic safety programs; the reasons why fuel-efficient vehicles are not sold domestically; infrastructure banks and debt finance; highway bridge conditions; emergency relief for disaster damaged roads and transit systems; harbor maintenance finance and funding; characteristics of Puerto Ricos Maritime trade and potential side effects of modifying the Jones Act.
