A new year is ahead, with transportation engineers, planners, advocates, and policymakers facing opportunities and challenges that must be met through the combined application of resources, technology, and partnerships. The biggest challenge facing the transportation industry largely remains the same-secure, reliable funding. Funding is needed not only to maintain infrastructure, but to implement new mobility strategies that continue to go beyond building increased capacity. As transportation professionals, ITE members are tasked with continuing to provide all modes of transportation for all people, doing so not only with enhanced safety but in the context of public policy. Policy and funding issues cut across all transportation topics. In the US, the urgent need for federal transportation re-authorization looms with the current Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act legislation set to expire in May 2015. The federal funding decisions made -- or not made -- in 2015 will determine the course for transportation programs that will have run out of money.
