This chapter may be cited as the ``Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998''. SEC. 1502. FINDINGS. Congress finds that-- (1) a well-developed system of transportation infrastructure is critical to the economic well-being, health, and welfare of the people of the United States; (2) traditional public funding techniques such as grant programs are unable to keep pace with the infrastructure investment needs of the United States because of budgetary constraints at the Federal, State, and local levels of government; (3) major transportation infrastructure facilities that address critical national needs, such as intermodal facilities, border crossings, and multistate trade corridors, are of a scale that exceeds the capacity of Federal and State assistance programs in effect on the date of enactment of this Act; (4) new investment capital can be attracted to infrastructure projects that are capable of generating their own revenue streams through user charges or other dedicated funding sources; and (5) a Federal credit program for projects of national significance can complement existing funding resources by filling market gaps, thereby leveraging substantial private co-investment.
