Field hearing

According to NSSGA, The Congressionally chartered National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission held a field hearing on Capitol Hill March 19 to study ways to reduce traffic tie ups and future ways to fund new road, bridge and transit projects. At the hearing, members of the commission, including U.S. Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters, heard testimony from various national transportation stakeholders. The day-long hearing consisted of seven panels that included groups such as state and local elected officials, transportation system planners, highway users, transportation providers, infrastructure providers, unions and policy analysts. The next field hearing is scheduled for Chicago on April 18 and 19. Your comment?
