| description abstract | INTRODUCTION The Untold Transportation Success Stories of Economic Recovery There are many ways to measure the success of transportation spending under the economic recovery program. • The projects—miles of bad road improved, bridges repaired, aging interstates rebuilt or made safer, new access to boost a community's economic growth. Lasting improvements to our transportation system. • The paychecks—workers who find a job after months of unemployment; contractors who by winning a bid can keep employees on the job, and recall others perhaps laid off; suppliers who provide concrete, asphalt, and steel; local diners, laundromats, grocery stores where people spend their pay. • Finally, the people—who gain an hour a day from a better commute; who drive on safer highways and bridges; who see new jobs result in the economy and new opportunities to grow. The first year of transportation investment under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act is not just about numbers, the faces, the state-by-state results of taxpayer dollars well spent—although they are all important. It is really about the American spirit—people ready and eager to work for the ultimate good of the entire country. The message is clear. Working with federal and local partners and the transportation industry, states delivered good jobs and good projects at an astonishing pace—11,000 projects in a year; resulting in payrolls of more than $1.4 billion for workers on highway and transit jobs. Yet every state knows that this is only a down payment on the true investment needed in our transportation system. States have another 10,000 projects at the ready—meaning more potential for jobs and the resulting improvements in our aging highways and bridges, transit systems, and transportation network. This can be achieved through enactment of an immediate jobs bill to keep the momentum going, but even more importantly, the enactment of a multi-year authorization of surface transportation programs. Transportation projects mean paychecks and a better future for America. | |
