Transportation system providers have many new demands and many critical issues to address, as shown in the previous activity. For example, transportation system providers must balance operations against expansion and balance local and national interests. The shift in authority and funding responsibility to the local and state levels raises fundamental questions about what the federal role should be.

Transportation system providers have many new demands and many critical issues to address, as shown in the previous activity.  For example, transportation system providers must balance operations against expansion and balance local and national interests. The shift in authority and funding responsibility to the local and state levels raises fundamental questions about what the federal role should be.
