House Transportation Bill Would Increase Role of States, Private Sector By Kathryn A. Wolfe, CQ Staff
Expect the Houses surface
Mica reiterated his past comments about making extensive use of public-private
partnerships, leveraging private capital and making the most of limited resources.
He also indicated that his bill will seek to drastically reduce the federal bureaucracys
involvement in transportation projects.
Well devolve decisions to the states, close the door on [Transportation Department]
operations programs and take the federal government out of the approval process, he said.
Mica said his staff is focused on drafting the bill with a Memorial Day goal in mind
