Aid highway program seeks city focus slow to join
Whitton urges states to join a voluntary federal aid plan to redeploy funds for urban traffic projects. He warns that delay could push it toward mandatory status while outlining low cost measures like reversible lanes signal timing and pavement markings to boost capacity. The plan would study bus service curb use and traffic light synchronization with shared federal funding for pilots in a 109000 population urban area.
