SUMMARY OF MOVING AHEAD FOR
     PROGRESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY (MAP-21)
Bill Highlights

•   Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) reauthorizes the Federal-aid
    highway program at the Congressional Budget Office’s baseline level—equal to current
    funding levels plus inflation—for two fiscal years.
•   MAP-21 consolidates the number of Federal programs by two-thirds, from about 90
    programs down to less than 30, to focus resources on key national goals and reduce
    duplicative programs.
•   Eliminates earmarks.
•   Expedites project delivery while protecting the environment.
•   Creates a new title called “America Fast Forward,” which strengthens the Transportation
    Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program (TIFIA) program to leverage federal dollars
    further than they have been stretched before.
•   Consolidates certain programs into a focused freight program to improve the movement of
    goods.

Authorizations and Programs

MAP-21 continues to provide the majority of Federal-aid highway funds to the states through
core programs. However, the core highway programs have been reduced from seven to five, as
follows:

•   National Highway Performance Program [New core program] – This section
    consolidates existing programs (the Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, and
    Highway Bridge programs) to create a single new program, which will provide increased
    flexibility, while guiding state and local investments to maintain and improve the conditions
    and performance of the National Highway System (NHS). This program will eliminate the
    barriers between existing programs that limit states’ flexibility to address the most vital needs
    for highways and bridges and holds states accountable for improving outcomes and using tax
    dollars efficiently.

•   Transportation Mobility Program [New core program] – This program replaces the
    current Surface Transportation Program, but retains the same structure, goals and flexibility
    to allow states and metropolitan areas to invest in the projects that fit their unique needs and
    priorities. It also gives a broad eligibility of surface transportation projects that can be
    constructed. Activities that previously received dedicated funding in SAFETEA-LU, but are
    being consolidated under MAP-21, will be retained as eligible activities under the
    Transportation Mobility Program.

•   National Freight Network Program [New core program] – Our nation’s economic health
    depends on a transportation system that provides for reliable and timely goods movements.
Unfortunately, the condition and capacity of the highway system has failed to keep up with
    the growth in freight movement and is hampering the ability of businesses to efficiently
    transport goods due to congestion.

    MAP-21 addresses the need to improve goods movement by consolidating existing programs
    into a new focused freight program that provides funds to the states by formula for projects to
    improve regional and national freight movements on highways, including freight intermodal
    connectors.

•   Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program [Existing core program]
    The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program provides funds
    to states for transportation projects designed to reduce traffic congestion and improve air
    quality.

    MAP-21 improves the existing CMAQ program by including particulate matter as one of the
    pollutants addressed, and by requiring a performance plan in large metropolitan areas to
    ensure that CMAQ funds are being used to improve air quality and congestion in those
    regions.

    Reforms the Transportation Enhancements program with more flexibility granted to the
    states on the use of the funds within the program.

•   Highway Safety Improvement Program [Existing core program] – MAP-21 builds on the
    successful Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). MAP-21 substantially increases
    the amount of funding for this program because of the strong results it has achieved in
    reducing fatalities. Under HSIP, states must develop and implement a safety plan that
    identifies highway safety programs and a strategy to address them.

•   Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program (TIFIA) – The TIFIA
    program provides direct loans, loan guarantees, and lines of credit to surface transportation
    projects at favorable terms. TIFIA will leverage private and other non-federal investment in
    transportation improvements.

    Included in the “America Fast Forward” title of MAP-21 will be provisions that build upon
    the success of the TIFIA program. MAP-21 modifies the TIFIA program by increasing
    funding for the program to $1 billion per year, by increasing the maximum share of project
    costs from 33 percent to 49 percent, by allowing TIFIA to be used to support a related set of
    projects, and by setting aside funding for projects in rural areas at more favorable terms.




                                                 2
•   Projects of National and Regional Significance Program –This bill authorizes a program
    to fund major projects of national and regional significance which meet rigorous criteria and
    eligibility requirements. This program authorizes for appropriation $1 billion in Fiscal Year
    2013.

•   Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Highways Programs – MAP-21 consolidates
    the existing program structure by creating a new Federal lands and tribal transportation
    program. The bill maintains funding for maintenance and construction of roads and bridges
    that are vital to the federal lands of this country.

•   Territorial and Puerto Rico Highways Program –This program provides funds to the U.S.
    territories and Puerto Rico to construct and maintain highway, bridge, and tunnel projects.

•   Administrative Expenses – Funds the general administrative operations of the Federal
    Highway Administration.

•   Emergency Relief – Provides funds to states to repair highways and bridges damaged by
    natural disasters.

•   Highway Bridge and Tunnel Inventory and Inspection Standards – Improves the existing
    highway bridge inspection program and authorizes a national tunnel inspection program to
    ensure the safety of our nation’s bridges and tunnels.

Performance Management

•   Performance Measures and Targets in MAP-21
    o The bill establishes an outcome-driven approach that tracks performance and will hold
        states and metropolitan planning organizations accountable for improving the conditions
        and performance of their transportation assets.

•   State and Metropolitan Transportation Planning
    o MAP-21 improves statewide and metropolitan planning processes to incorporate a more
        comprehensive performance-based approach to decision making. Utilizing performance
        targets will assist states and metropolitan areas in targeting limited resources on projects
        that will improve the condition and performance of their transportation assets.




                                                  3
Acceleration of Project Delivery

MAP-21 includes program reforms designed to reduce project delivery time and costs while
protecting the environment. Examples of improvements include: expanding the use of
innovative contracting methods; creating dispute resolution procedures; allowing for early right-
of-way acquisitions; reducing bureaucratic hurdles for projects with no significant environmental
impact; encouraging early coordination between relevant agencies to avoid delays later in the
review process; and accelerating project delivery decisions within specified deadlines.

Research and Education

•   Transportation Research Programs – MAP-21 funds research and development,
    technology deployment, training and education, intelligent transportation system (ITS), and
    university transportation center activities to further innovation in transportation research. The
    primary research areas include: improving highway safety and infrastructure integrity;
    strengthening transportation planning and environmental decision-making; reducing
    congestion, improving highway operations; and enhancing freight productivity.

Senate Bill Summary 110411

  • 1. SUMMARY OF MOVING AHEAD FOR PROGRESS IN THE 21ST CENTURY (MAP-21) Bill Highlights • Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) reauthorizes the Federal-aid highway program at the Congressional Budget Office’s baseline level—equal to current funding levels plus inflation—for two fiscal years. • MAP-21 consolidates the number of Federal programs by two-thirds, from about 90 programs down to less than 30, to focus resources on key national goals and reduce duplicative programs. • Eliminates earmarks. • Expedites project delivery while protecting the environment. • Creates a new title called “America Fast Forward,” which strengthens the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program (TIFIA) program to leverage federal dollars further than they have been stretched before. • Consolidates certain programs into a focused freight program to improve the movement of goods. Authorizations and Programs MAP-21 continues to provide the majority of Federal-aid highway funds to the states through core programs. However, the core highway programs have been reduced from seven to five, as follows: • National Highway Performance Program [New core program] – This section consolidates existing programs (the Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, and Highway Bridge programs) to create a single new program, which will provide increased flexibility, while guiding state and local investments to maintain and improve the conditions and performance of the National Highway System (NHS). This program will eliminate the barriers between existing programs that limit states’ flexibility to address the most vital needs for highways and bridges and holds states accountable for improving outcomes and using tax dollars efficiently. • Transportation Mobility Program [New core program] – This program replaces the current Surface Transportation Program, but retains the same structure, goals and flexibility to allow states and metropolitan areas to invest in the projects that fit their unique needs and priorities. It also gives a broad eligibility of surface transportation projects that can be constructed. Activities that previously received dedicated funding in SAFETEA-LU, but are being consolidated under MAP-21, will be retained as eligible activities under the Transportation Mobility Program. • National Freight Network Program [New core program] – Our nation’s economic health depends on a transportation system that provides for reliable and timely goods movements.
  • 2. Unfortunately, the condition and capacity of the highway system has failed to keep up with the growth in freight movement and is hampering the ability of businesses to efficiently transport goods due to congestion. MAP-21 addresses the need to improve goods movement by consolidating existing programs into a new focused freight program that provides funds to the states by formula for projects to improve regional and national freight movements on highways, including freight intermodal connectors. • Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program [Existing core program] The Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement (CMAQ) Program provides funds to states for transportation projects designed to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality. MAP-21 improves the existing CMAQ program by including particulate matter as one of the pollutants addressed, and by requiring a performance plan in large metropolitan areas to ensure that CMAQ funds are being used to improve air quality and congestion in those regions. Reforms the Transportation Enhancements program with more flexibility granted to the states on the use of the funds within the program. • Highway Safety Improvement Program [Existing core program] – MAP-21 builds on the successful Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). MAP-21 substantially increases the amount of funding for this program because of the strong results it has achieved in reducing fatalities. Under HSIP, states must develop and implement a safety plan that identifies highway safety programs and a strategy to address them. • Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Program (TIFIA) – The TIFIA program provides direct loans, loan guarantees, and lines of credit to surface transportation projects at favorable terms. TIFIA will leverage private and other non-federal investment in transportation improvements. Included in the “America Fast Forward” title of MAP-21 will be provisions that build upon the success of the TIFIA program. MAP-21 modifies the TIFIA program by increasing funding for the program to $1 billion per year, by increasing the maximum share of project costs from 33 percent to 49 percent, by allowing TIFIA to be used to support a related set of projects, and by setting aside funding for projects in rural areas at more favorable terms. 2
  • 3. Projects of National and Regional Significance Program –This bill authorizes a program to fund major projects of national and regional significance which meet rigorous criteria and eligibility requirements. This program authorizes for appropriation $1 billion in Fiscal Year 2013. • Federal Lands and Tribal Transportation Highways Programs – MAP-21 consolidates the existing program structure by creating a new Federal lands and tribal transportation program. The bill maintains funding for maintenance and construction of roads and bridges that are vital to the federal lands of this country. • Territorial and Puerto Rico Highways Program –This program provides funds to the U.S. territories and Puerto Rico to construct and maintain highway, bridge, and tunnel projects. • Administrative Expenses – Funds the general administrative operations of the Federal Highway Administration. • Emergency Relief – Provides funds to states to repair highways and bridges damaged by natural disasters. • Highway Bridge and Tunnel Inventory and Inspection Standards – Improves the existing highway bridge inspection program and authorizes a national tunnel inspection program to ensure the safety of our nation’s bridges and tunnels. Performance Management • Performance Measures and Targets in MAP-21 o The bill establishes an outcome-driven approach that tracks performance and will hold states and metropolitan planning organizations accountable for improving the conditions and performance of their transportation assets. • State and Metropolitan Transportation Planning o MAP-21 improves statewide and metropolitan planning processes to incorporate a more comprehensive performance-based approach to decision making. Utilizing performance targets will assist states and metropolitan areas in targeting limited resources on projects that will improve the condition and performance of their transportation assets. 3
  • 4. Acceleration of Project Delivery MAP-21 includes program reforms designed to reduce project delivery time and costs while protecting the environment. Examples of improvements include: expanding the use of innovative contracting methods; creating dispute resolution procedures; allowing for early right- of-way acquisitions; reducing bureaucratic hurdles for projects with no significant environmental impact; encouraging early coordination between relevant agencies to avoid delays later in the review process; and accelerating project delivery decisions within specified deadlines. Research and Education • Transportation Research Programs – MAP-21 funds research and development, technology deployment, training and education, intelligent transportation system (ITS), and university transportation center activities to further innovation in transportation research. The primary research areas include: improving highway safety and infrastructure integrity; strengthening transportation planning and environmental decision-making; reducing congestion, improving highway operations; and enhancing freight productivity. 4
