DOT's Budget

Challenges Facing the Department in Fiscal Year 1997 and Beyond Gao ID: T-RCED-96-88 March 7, 1996

The Department of Transportation (DOT), which received more than $35 billion in appropriations for fiscal year 1996, is responsible for ensuring the safe and the efficient movement of people and goods and cost-effective investment in the nation's transportation and infrastructure, including its highway and transit systems, airports, airways, ports, and waterways. Pressures to reduce federal spending will increase competition among the various transportation administrations for scarce federal dollars. This testimony focuses on the challenges facing DOT and its various modal administrations during fiscal year 1997 and beyond, particularly as they affect surface transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Coast Guard.
