Advancing MAP-21: Provisions to Encourage Outsourcing in Transportation Projects

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) introduces significant provisions that encourage outsourcing in transportation projects. Authorized for two years until September 30, 2014, the bill includes policy changes such as program consolidation, environmental streamlining, and performance measures. Notably, it promotes private sector involvement through innovative contracting methods and allows federal funding to rise if states adopt these strategies. Advocacy is crucial in educating Congress and building coalitions to address the impacts of these outsourcing provisions.
