			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Reference:<a href="http://insiderinterviews.nationaljournal.com/2009/10/post-1.php"> National Journal Online &#8212; Insider Interviews &#8212; Bush DOT Chief Discusses Reauthorization</a>.</p>
<p>I agree with the thoughts of increased tolling and more fees other than the gas tax.  I also agree with $1B per year for technology, but it has to be managed right.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m also glad that the performance measures are measurable:</p>
<ul>
<li> Congestion (we can measure that &#8211; it is the percent of a region&#8217;s network that is operating with a demand greater than its capacity)</li>
<li>Costs (we can measure that, although we have to watch how we do it, as we don&#8217;t want to have a system be considered bad if gas prices hit $4/gallon)</li>
<li>Safety (we DO measure this &#8211; it is the number of injuries and deaths on the road)</li>
</ul>
