The NCSL Transportation Funding Partnership was created to bring important transportation funding information and resources to the nation's state legislatures. The partnership brought together key players in transportation funding, including members of the NCSL Transportation Committee who are legislators and legislative staff expert in state transportation funding matters, other key state legislators, transportation finance experts, and an array of private sector companies. The committee created a guide for state legislators on both existing and innovative transportation funding solutions and options. The guide catalogues the various transportation funding options available to states and is intended as a tool that state legislators and others can use to develop their own transportation finance solutions.
The guide was developed with the oversight of a Transportation Funding Partnership Committee, which met four times over the course of the project to formulate, develop and review the guide. Members of the partnership committee were:
Officers
Chair: | Senator Bruce Starr, Oregon (R)-NCSL Transportation Committee vice-chair |
Vice-Chair: | Representative Mike Krusee, Texas (R)-Texas House Transportation chair, former NCSL Transportation chair |
Vice-Chair: | Assemblymember Betty Karnette, California (D)-Former NCSL Transportation chair, current Transportation Committee member |
