Federal Transportation Report

The report of the National Surface Transportation and Revenue Study Commission didn't have much that was state-specific. The report was released January 15. See www.transportationfortomorrow.org. 
The report says, "Too many of the Nation's highways, bridges and transit systems are already in disrepair." The report did not specify the number that was acceptable to have in disrepair.
The report finds appeal in the idea of public-private partnerships, though recommends care in cutting deals that, for example, have private entities running toll roads. New Mexico does not have public-private partnership enabling legislation, the report says on page 49 of volume one, the recommendations volume.
