Status of Highway Trust Fund
2013 Funding Issues• Sequestration - Highway Trust Fund
spending not impacted.–General Fund transfers are impacted.
• Continuing Resolution –House bill did not fund MAP-21 increase.–Senate bill fully funds MAP-21.–Senate bill signed into Public Law.– Federal highway funding this construction season for California at $3.5 billion or 2.5% increase.
2014 Funding Issues• House Budget – Fully funds MAP-21.
–Highway spending craters in 2015.
• Senate Budget – Fully funds MAP-21.–Includes “Reserve Fund” in 2015 and beyond.
• President’s Budget – Aligned with Senate’s.
• Bottom-line – For 2014, fully expect MAP-21 funding levels.–California – $3.4 billion in 2014
• Problem – What happens in 2015?

MAP-21 Implementation Issues
• Measure Pavement Performance on Interstate Highway System.–What’s the metric?
• Accelerated Implementation and Deployment of Pavement Technologies Program–Deployment of new cost-effective designs, materials, and practices.–$12 million for asphalt to deploy high RAP, RAS, WMA, Perpetual Pavements, and clearinghouse.
Pavement Issues in 112th Congress
• Geosynthetic Materials–GAO Report/Transportation Appropriations Bill
• Fibers–Former Ohio Rep. Dennis Eckert Lobbying–Says increases pavement life
• Steel Slag–MAP-21 Amendment
• Crumb Rubber–Hired lobbyist to push
Pavement Economic Issues
• New Federal LCCA Process• Require Alternate-Design/Alternate-Bid• MEPDG Mandate• NAPA defeated mandates
–GAO preparing report on LCCA best practices–Report due in June
• Material-Specific Discount Rates– OMB Circular A-94
Outlook for 113th Congress
• Funding – Needs to address 2015• Competition Issues
–Pavement Economics•LCCA•Price Adjustment Clauses
–Pavement Sustainability•Urban Heat Island•LCA/PVI as Pavement Selection Tool
• All these issues are at state level too!
