Performance Driven: New Vision for U.S. Transportation Policy

National transportation policy has lost direction and a clear sense of purpose, threatening substantial costs to our collective prosperity, security, environment, and quality of life. The National Transportation Policy Project (NTPP) is recommending bold and comprehensive reform founded on a relatively simple proposition: U.S. transportation policy needs to be more performance-driven, more directly linked to a set of clearly articulated goals, and more accountable for results.

Recognizing that such reform will require dramatic changes to current practices, the NTPP was launched with the aim of bringing new approaches and fresh thinking to these issues. Our aim has been to develop proposals that are bold enough to be effective, and pragmatic enough to be relevant. To that end, the Project has been explicitly bipartisan in its approach and in its membership from the outset.
