SEC. 1201. REAL-TIME SYSTEM MANAGEMENT INFORMATION PROGRAM.
(a) Establishment.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary shall establish a real-time
system management information program to provide, in all States,
the capability to monitor, in real-time, the traffic and travel
conditions of the major highways of the United States and to share
that information to improve the security of the surface
transportation system, to address congestion problems, to support
improved response to weather events and surface transportation
incidents, and to facilitate national and regional highway traveler
information.
(2) Purposes.--The purposes of the real-time system management
information program are to--
(A) establish, in all States, a system of basic real-time
information for managing and operating the surface
transportation system;
(B) identify longer range real-time highway and transit
monitoring needs and develop plans and strategies for meeting
such needs; and
(C) provide the capability and means to share that data
with State and local governments and the traveling public.
(b) Data Exchange Formats.--Not later than 2 years after the date
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish data exchange
formats to ensure that the data provided by highway and transit
monitoring systems, including statewide incident reporting systems, can
readily be exchanged across jurisdictional boundaries, facilitating
nationwide availability of information.
(c) Regional Intelligent Transportation System Architecture.--
(1) Addressing information needs.--As State and local
governments develop or update regional intelligent transportation
system architectures, described in section 940.9 of title 23, Code
of Federal Regulations, such governments shall explicitly address
real-time highway and transit information needs and the systems
needed to meet such needs, including addressing coverage,
monitoring systems, data fusion and archiving, and methods of
exchanging or sharing highway and transit information.
(2) Data exchange.--States shall incorporate the data exchange
formats established by the Secretary under subsection (b) to ensure
that the data provided by highway and transit monitoring systems
may readily be exchanged with State and local governments and may
be made available to the traveling public.
(d) Eligibility.--Subject to project approval by the Secretary, a
State may obligate funds apportioned to the State under sections
104(b)(1), 104(b)(2), and 104(b)(3) of title 23, United States Code,

monitoring elements that advance the goals and purposes described in
subsection (a).
(e) Limitation on Statutory Construction.--Nothing in this section
shall be construed as altering or otherwise affecting the applicability
of the requirements of chapter 1 of title 23, United States Code
(including requirements relating to the eligibility of a project for
assistance under the program, the location of the project, and the
Federal-share payable on account of the project), to amounts
apportioned to a State for a program under section 104(b) that are
obligated by the State for activities and projects under this section.
(f) Statewide Incident Reporting System Defined.--In this section,
the term ``statewide incident reporting system'' means a statewide
system for facilitating the real-time electronic reporting of surface
transportation incidents to a central location for use in monitoring
the event, providing accurate traveler information, and responding to
the incident as appropriate.
Subtitle C--Mobility and Efficiency
SEC. 1301. PROJECTS OF NATIONAL AND REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE.
(a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
(1) Under current law, surface transportation programs rely
primarily on formula capital apportionments to States.
(2) Despite the significant increase for surface transportation
program funding in the Transportation Equity Act of the 21st
Century, current levels of investment are insufficient to fund
critical high-cost transportation infrastructure facilities that
address critical national economic and transportation needs.
(3) Critical high-cost transportation infrastructure facilities
often include multiple levels of government, agencies, modes of
transportation, and transportation goals and planning processes
that are not easily addressed or funded within existing surface
transportation program categories.
(4) Projects of national and regional significance have
national and regional benefits, including improving economic
productivity by facilitating international trade, relieving
congestion, and improving transportation safety by facilitating
passenger and freight movement.
(5) The benefits of projects described in paragraph (4) accrue
to local areas, States, and the Nation as a result of the effect
such projects have on the national transportation system.
(6) A program dedicated to constructing projects of national
and regional significance is necessary to improve the safe, secure,
and efficient movement of people and goods throughout the United
States and improve the health and welfare of the national economy.
(b) Establishment of Program.--The Secretary shall establish a
program to provide grants to States for projects of national and
regional significance.
(c) Definitions.--In this section, the following definitions apply:

in Federal highway projects unless there is a finding that the
inclusion of domestic materials will increase the cost of the
overall project by more than 25 percent;
(3) uncertainty regarding how to apply Buy America laws for
major bridge projects threatens the domestic bridge industry;
(4) because the Nation's unemployment rate continues to hover
around 5.6 percent, steps are needed to protect American workers
and the domestic bridge building industry; and
(5) the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a et seq.) was designed
to ensure that, when taxpayer money is spent on direct Federal
Government procurement and infrastructure projects, these
expenditures stimulate United States production and job creation.

in reducing the number and rate of alcohol-related highway
facilities;
(2) the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projects
that fatalities in alcohol-related crashes declined in 2003 for the
2nd year in a row;
(3) in spite of this progress, an estimated 17,013 Americans
died in 2003, in alcohol-related crashes;
(4) these fatalities comprise 40 percent of the annual total
highway fatalities;
(5) about 250,000 are injured each year in alcohol-related
crashes;
(6) the past 2 years of decreasing alcohol-related fatalities
follows a 3-year increase;

committed violent crime;
(8) the annual cost of alcohol-related crashes is over
$100,000,000,000, including $9,000,000,000 in costs to employers;
(9) a Presidential Commission on Alcohol Impaired Driving in
1982 and 1983 helped to lead to substantial progress on this issue;
and
(10) these facts point to the need to renew the national
commitment to preventing these deaths and injuries.
(b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, in an
effort to further change the culture of alcohol-impaired driving on our
Nation's highways, the President should consider establishing a
Presidential Commission on Alcohol-Impaired Driving--

received enough information about alcohol-impaired driving and the
way in which alcohol affects individual blood alcohol levels; and
(3) only 28 percent of the American public can correctly
identify the legal limit of blood alcohol concentration of the
State in which they reside.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration should work with State
and local governments and independent organizations to increase public
awareness of--

SEC. 5103. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Research and development are critical to developing and
maintaining a transportation system that meets the goals of safety,
mobility, economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and environmental
protection.
(2) Federally sponsored surface transportation research and
development has produced many successes. The development of rumble
strips has increased safety; research on materials has increased
the lifespan of pavements, saving money and reducing the disruption
caused by construction; and Geographic Information Systems have
improved the management and efficiency of transit fleets.
(3) Despite these important successes, the Federal surface
transportation research and development investment represents less
than 1 percent of overall Government spending on surface
transportation.
(4) While Congress increased funding for overall transportation
programs by about 40 percent in the Transportation Equity Act for
the 21st Century, funding for transportation research and
development remained relatively flat.
(5) The Federal investment in research and development should
be balanced between short-term applied and long-term fundamental
research and development. The investment should also cover a wide
range of research areas, including research on materials and
construction, research on operations, research on transportation
trends and human factors, and research addressing the institutional
barriers to deployment of new technologies.
(6) That it is in the United States interest to increase the
Federal investment in transportation research and development, and
to conduct research in critical research gaps, in order to ensure
that the transportation system meets the goals of safety, mobility,
economic vitality, efficiency, equity, and environmental
protection.

transportation that--
(1) approximately 4,000,000,000 tons of regulated hazardous
materials are transported each year and approximately 1,200,000
movements of hazardous materials occur each day, according to
Department of Transportation estimates;
(2) the movement of hazardous materials in commerce is
necessary to maintain economic vitality and meet consumer demands
and must be conducted in a safe, secure, and efficient manner;
(3) accidents involving, or unauthorized access to, hazardous
materials in transportation may result in a release of such
materials and pose a serious threat to public health and safety;
(4) because of the potential risks to life, property, and the
environment posed by unintentional releases of hazardous materials,
consistency in laws and regulations governing the transportation of
hazardous materials is necessary and desirable; and
(5) in order to provide reasonable, adequate, and cost-
effective protection from the risks posed by the transportation of
hazardous materials, a network of well-trained State and local
emergency response personnel and hazmat employees is essential.
