To prepare for reauthorizing the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA), the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, and the Chairman of that Committee's Subcommittee on Transportation and Infrastructure asked GAO to provide information on the Department of Transportation's surface transportation research programs. This report discusses (1) the public and private funding for surface transportation research, (2) the transportation community's views on the federal role in surface transportation research and the Department's ability to fulfill that role, and (3) the issues that the transportation community believes the Congress and the Department should consider during ISTEA's reauthorization.
