The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) recently issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking public input on issues that should be addressed when Congress takes up reauthorization of the surface transportation legislation over the next year. The information will help DOT prepare its proposal for the reauthorization effort. The department asked for input to prioritize funding, streamline project delivery, and address emerging challenges in safety, climate resilience, and technology integration. DOT officials emphasized that the RFI is intended to ensure that the law is applied in a way that reflects both congressional intent and the practical needs of state and local transportation agencies, as well as the private sector.
