AI Summary

  • Urges the President and Congress to stabilize the federal Highway Trust Fund by developing a long-term plan to increase adequate revenues.

  • Identifies that the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) expires September 30, 2014, and the Highway Trust Fund will be unable to support new highway or public transportation spending in fiscal year 2015 without congressional action.

  • Notes the Highway Trust Fund experienced revenue shortfalls in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012, and the Department of Transportation will begin slowing reimbursements to states for approved projects as early as July 2014.

  • Requires any long-term revenue plan to maintain federal government's role in transportation, contribute to deficit reduction and economic growth, ensure program integrity, and allow Congress to reauthorize federal highway and public transportation programs before MAP-21 expires.
