Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21)
• Extends current law (SAFETEA-LU) through September 30th
• Authorizes transportation programs for two years
• ~$103 billion, or current spending plus inflation adjustments
• About $10.5 billion of that goes to the Mass Transit Account of the Highway Trust Fund (not a foregone conclusion)
• No earmarks (SAFETEA-LU had thousands)

FHWA: The good, the bad, the ugly
• Good: Potential new transparency via FMIS, performance measurement (toothless), some more tolling
• Bad: STP eligibility expanded w/ no more funding, bike/ped funding shrinks and half can be “flexed” away
• Ugly: No funding dedicated to repair (down from 30 percent), match for new Interstate construction 95%

Slide
FTA: The good, the bad, the ugly
• Good: New Starts process simplified, SGR grants and TAMS, TOD planning grants, transit agencies get a seat at MPOs, performance measurement (toothless)
• Bad: Funding ratio with highways stays the same
• Ugly: Thankfully the House didn’t make it ugly!

• New cost-effectiveness study required
