out of money. We have an opportunity
to determine how to move the country
forward – such as a comprehensive
approach to highway dollars and to
structure the funding that makes sense.
She acknowledged that trust fund receipts
are getting fewer and we need to look at
alternative funding possibilities.
Jim Kolb provided his perspective on the
reauthorization process. He stated that
there’s an erosion of purchasing power, we
need a national strategy for future funding,
and in 2010 we need to have a redefined
program for a performance-based and
accountable system.
Jim Tymon commented on how states
and others can best get involved in
the authorization process. He stated
that there’s a need for a more strategic
approach to funding, tearing down
stovepipes of funding and becoming
more comprehensive. There’s a big
effort underway to get the authorization
bill finalized in a timely manner. He
encouraged early relationships with the
states’ congressional delegations and staff
members. Ideas can then be handled more
quickly to lay the groundwork early.
There was a rich discussion from the
audience on topics such as the status of
congressional earmarks, bridge inspections
and project funding, U.S. DOT’s role in the
future and the expansion of toll facilities.

CLOSING SESSION
Responding to the challenges
of the future
Where do we go from here? At the closing
session of SASHTO 2008, two widely
recognized authorities on transportation
offered their perspectives on the
challenges facing our states and their
advice for our leadership.
National perspective:
Pete Rahn, president of the American
Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials and director of the
Missouri DOT said diminishing revenue
sources will require us to explore new
funding sources and state DOTs must
respond to this new role.
Energy, environment and the economy
were the major topics he discussed. New
technology is a huge investment but not
many are thinking about how we utilize it.
Roads are being used for traffic volumes
and truck weights they were not designed
for.
We need the resources and the organized
efforts of our industry to move forward.
State perspective:
Ben Watts, former Florida DOT Secretary
who retired as president of Carter &
Burgess, Inc. this year provided insight
into what he called “three life lessons
learned over 30 years of transportation.”
“You can’t think about something you’ve
never thought of,” was the first lesson. He
said you need to spend time thinking about
how to do things differently and not wait
for the federal government to pay for it.
“Don’t be content to be, when you can do,”
was lesson number two. You can’t keep
people in the same jobs for so long that
they become complacent.
“Everything worth doing and worth having
should be worth the effort,” was the third
and last life lesson. You need to learn the
balance between what you really want
and what it’s going to take to get it. There
needs to be a balance between the work
and the reward.
