It is time for Congress to act on a new comprehensive transportation program, rather than just extending the old law.

I don't risk, the knocked off transportation program doesn't report its location.

It also would set the Federal share of transportation programs at 80 percent, with the states providing 20 percent.

This would leave only $185 million of the $701 million raised by the tax for transportation programs.

The vote was 361 to 61, and the bill, providing $38.1 billion for transportation programs, now goes to the Senate.

The Senate spent much of last week debating the annual budget bill for the federal transportation program.

States are also expanding transportation programs, but here the problem may be even more vexing.

However, revenues from other taxes are also used in federal transportation programs.

The program that now finances the country's transportation programs will end on Sept. 30.

Local governments, in dispute with each other over growth, have now started taking a more regional approach and several transportation programs.
