The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has sent to Congress a $302 billion four-year surface transportation reauthorization proposal, the “Generating Renewal, Opportunity, and Work with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency, and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America Act” – the GROW AMERICA Act.

This first-ever comprehensive transportation proposal from the Obama Administration was delivered as the Highway Trust Fund is headed toward insolvency as early as July, and the current transportation reauthorization, the two-year “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act” (MAP-21), expires at the end of September.
