Our Work
America is a nation on the move. While our transportation system is a tremendous national asset, it is aging and slowing Americans down. A crumbling transportation system reduces productivity, undermines our ability to move products across the country and around the world, and increases congestion and air pollution. Investment in modernized transportation infrastructure will fuel economic growth, enhance our competitiveness, and lead to job creation.

A few years later, Congress also agreed to deregulate the motor carrier and freight railroad industries. By allowing free-market competition in these industries, we have experienced an unprecedented rise in reliability, safety, and efficiency.
