Cato Transportation Forum, 27 May
The Cato Institute invites you to a Policy Forum
Relief from Gridlock:
Surface Transportation Reauthorization in 2009
Featuring
Randal O’Toole
Cato Institute
Samuel Staley
Reason Foundation
Greg Cohen
American Highway User Alliance
Moderator
Jerry Taylor
Cato Institute
In reauthorizing the federal gas tax and surface transportation funding, the next Congress can continue historic trends of dictating thousands of earmarks and other mandates that reduce our transportation efficiency and, like recent ethanol programs, have huge unintended consequences. Or it can streamline federal transportation programs to make urban and other surface transport systems run smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal waste of energy and greenhouse gas emissions. This policy forum will present a variety of proposals for breaking out of the transportation gridlock we currently suffer.
