Policy and Regulations
On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed into law P.L. 112-141, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), funding surface transportation programs at over $105 billion for fiscal years (FY) 2013 and 2014.
MAP-21 continues support from previous legislation for the incorporation of management and operations in the metropolitan and State transportation planning processes. Selection of excerpts relevant to planning for operations from Title 23, United States Code, reflecting MAP-21 amendments.
