The National Listening Sessions, five of which are being held around the country, provide an opportunity for the transportation community to speak to a U.S. DOT panel on a variety of topics related to TEA-21. Generally, the sessions are scheduled from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Constituency panelists are invited (20 to 25) representing States, cities, counties, MPOs, transit, ports, railroads, truckers, shippers, border communities, Intelligent Transportation Systems, environment, safety, labor, construction, disadvantaged business interests, Native American tribes, and others. There is expected to be a similar cross section represented in the audience; auditoriums accommodating approximately 200 audience members are being used for the listening sessions.
CommentsComments on the TEA-21 legislation may be made at the Listening Sessions during the question and comments session at the end of the day; by submitting written statements to U.S. DOT staff at the site of the Listening Session; and by submitting written statements to Docket OST-98-4146, which the Department has opened to accept comments.
