Policymakers at all levels of government are debating a wide range
of options for addressing the nation's faltering economic
conditions. One option that is once again receiving attention is
accelerated investments in the nation's public infrastructure -
that is, highways, mass transit, airports, water supply and
wastewater, and other facilities - in order to create jobs while
also promoting long-term economic growth. This book examines policy
issues associated with using infrastructure as a mechanism to
benefit economic recovery. Discussed are federal traffic safety
programs; the reasons why fuel-efficient vehicles are not sold
domestically; infrastructure banks and debt finance; highway bridge
conditions; emergency relief for disaster damaged roads and transit
systems; harbor maintenance finance and funding; characteristics of
Puerto Rico's Maritime trade and potential side effects of
modifying the Jones Act.
