National Commission Field Hearing

Principal Investigator(s)

Gina Baas, Deputy Director, Center for Transportation Studies

Project Summary

On August 10, 2005, President Bush signed into law the new surface transportation legislation, SAFETEA-LU. This legislation established the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. This commission was established to develop congressional recommendations for a future national transportation policy. The commission has been holding field hearings around the country to gather input for its recommendations. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) and the Center for Transportation Studies (CTS) submitted a proposal to the US Department of Transportation to host the hearing. Minnesota was selected as a host site through a competitive process. The hearing will be held in Minnesota on April 18-19. Mn/DOT is contracting with CTS to host and deliver the two-day field hearing.
