Heightened awareness of North America's vulnerability to terrorism in the aftermath of 9/11 has precipitated a crisis for transport suppliers and cargo owners, one that jeopardizes economic prosperity. Mary Brooks examines one industry sector of the North American economic relationship - transportation services - from the perspectives of transport supplier, cargo owner and policymaker. Ensuring security in international transportation without compromising operational effectiveness is a delicate balancing act. There is concern that economic benefits from NAFTA and the Canada-US Trade Agreement may have been diminished by the current security focus of American officials. The author addresses these concerns, beginning with a history of NAFTA and subsequent continental economic integration. Succeeding chapters provide an economic and regulatory assessment of the North American transport network, and examine key issues for both cargo interests and surface transport suppliers. The issues of perimeter security and growing regionalization are also explored. The author closes with a discussion of North America's transportation future under the Security and Prosperity Partnership. The unique insights of North American Freight Transportation will be of interest to policymakers, those in the transport sector, as well as researchers and practitioners in political science and trade economics.

As the federal-aid highway program enters the twenty-first century, it is appropriate to consider issues of change versus continuity in the role of the federal level of government in the highway transportation system as that role evolved to meet current and future needs. Important economic, geographic, social, and environmental developments are taking place that imply a continuing, vital federal role, but one that much adjust to a changing context. The Federal highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Policy seeks to anticipate forces that may require such changes. The office sponsored this study to suggest opportunities where policy research can access that need for new or modified federal roles in the federal-aid highway program.

At heart, transportation policy and research are about people: connecting individuals and the places they live, ensuring sufficient and equitable access, and facilitating movement. Whether at the regional, city, or neighborhood scale, the loss of population presents unique challenges where transport is concerned. It is not only about preservation of existing access, but possibly even a question of increased need for connectivity and mobility. Demographic changes that accompany depopulation--aging for example-- also impact existing systems, preferences, and needs. - High quality and focused contributions on a complex and urgent topic - A clear focus on qualitative analyses and mixed method approaches
