stage and more than 3,000 were now finished, worth a total of $23 billion. “This is $23 billion that is generating jobs in direct construction and the supply sectors and all of it is boosting the economy,” Gannon said. He cautioned that while the recovery act was currently supporting transportation work and jobs in 2010, its impacts will phase down quickly when those funds are no longer available in 2011. “Frankly, the uncertain outlook about the reauthorization of the federal highway and public transportation programs is making a challenging situation worse,” Gannon said. ”It also is the uncertainty and trepidation caused by how the delay is being handled — with short-term extensions and deficit spending.”
Gannon told the committee that for 50 years the federal-aid highway and transit programs have been “a model of responsible and stable financing” benefitting system users. “That dependability, which is needed to plan and execute multi-year transportation improvement projects, is now threatened by a lack of political will to enhance Highway Trust Fund revenues,” he said. He closed his testimony saying that true economic recovery for the transportation construction industry will only be realized when Congress and the Obama Administration address the nation’s infrastructure challenges head on and pass a robustly funded highway and transit investment bill.
