                                                                                                                        • State DOT CEOs’ vision for reauthorization calls for “a world-class transportation system that supports and strengthens the nation’s transportation infrastructure for a strong economy with improved safety and mobility,” enabled though federal funding stability, current funding levels being maintained and adjusted for inflation, and applying user pay principles to all vehicles. • The adopted core policy principles include prioritizing formula-based federal funding to states, improving project delivery and program administration by increasing flexibility, simplifying environmental regulations, and reducing program burdens, and creating a more safe, resilient, and efficient future by supporting state DOTs’ ability to harness innovation and technology.
                                                                                                                        • AASHTO led the development of Joint Policy Statement “Refocusing the Federal Program Around Formula Funding and Strategically Deploying Discretionary Grants.” This statement seeks to develop resources to show Congress the ability of the formula program to turn federal dollars into projects quickly and generate the most value for the taxpayer. Additionally, it identified opportunities to strengthen messaging coordination between state DOTs and industry to show tangible community and regional benefits from individual projects funded with formula dollars and enable members of Congress to claim specific credit similar to earmarks and discretionary grant awards.
