OCLC Number: (OCoLC)52421013 Subject: Budget -- United States. Excerpt: ... 11 dents involving commercial motor vehicles. The 2004 budget re-quest includes $ 447 million to address these particular issues as well. A focus on safety is an integral part, as you see, of these core highway programs. Another way to improve transportation safety is by encouraging the use of public transit, a dependably safe and efficient way to get people where they need to be.

Because travel demand has dipped in the post-9 / 11 environment, it is important to understand that it will be back. We will face con-gestion and capacity problems. So we cannot take our eye off these aviation infrastructure investments. We want to fund them at a significant level in this budget. Equally important, we want to con-tinue to focus on reducing aviation fatality rates and improving aviation security. These are component parts of what you will be seeing when we send our proposal up for the Airport and Airway Trust Fund and the FAA reauthorization.
