January 18, 2008 - The U.S.
Department of Transportation's Research and Innovative Technology
Administration (RITA) released Transportation Vision for 2030, designed to guide the Department’s research, technology and
investment decisions in order to improve safety and system performance and find
21st-century solutions to the challenges facing the nation's intermodal transportation system. Â Transportation Vision for 2030 details
current challenges in passenger and freight transportation, such as
record-level gridlock at our nation's airports and seaports and on our
highways. It also points out flaws in the current system of
transportation financing and the need to improve the use of
technology. The document then outlines the Department's
"pathway" to addressing these challenges, such as safety-oriented
technology programs, congestion-reducing technologies and pricing models,
increased energy efficiency and alternative fuels, and public-private
partnerships. Transportation Vision for 2030 is available online
at http://www.rita.dot.gov/publications/transportation_vision_2030/.
