Baltimore Sun: A fresh start on national transportation policy

From Baltimore Sun

The last time U.S. transportation policy took a bold approach of any kind was more than five decades ago when President Dwight Eisenhower established the interstate highway system. Today, that system is overloaded and under-financed and it's not even clear what role those highways are expected to play in the country's future.  What's needed is the kind of go-for-it spirit of the Eisenhower era, but with a new direction. America doesn't necessarily need more roads so much as it needs a better and more cost-effective approach to transportation.
