The committee that produced the report concluded that traffic delays resulting from the BRAC decisions and short timeline for implementing the decisions will impose substantial costs on surrounding communities and may even be harmful to the military. The report offers recommendations to mitigate the effects of BRAC for the near, short, and long term. Among its recommendations, the committee calls on Congress to consider a special appropriation or the allocation of uncommitted stimulus funds to address the most adverse transportation problems caused by additional military traffic from base realignments. The intent of these funds would be to initiate projects as soon as possible that would reduce the severity of congestion impacts within three years. The committee also recommends creating new funding streams for transportation infrastructure, noting that the U.S. Department of Defense should accept more financial responsibility for transportation problems related to growth on military bases, just as private developers pay impact fees to pay the costs for improvements to access their sites. Communities that benefit economically from the presence of military bases should pay their share of needed transportation improvements as well."--Publisher's description. 530 $a Also available online via Internet. 610 10 $a United States. $b Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. 650 0 $a Military base closures $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Military base closures $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Traffic congestion $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Traffic congestion $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Transportation, Military $z United States. 650 0 $a Federal aid to transportation $z United States. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Committee for a Study on Federal Funding of Transportation Improvements in Base Realignment and Closure Cases. $b Committee for a Study on Federal Funding of Transportation Improvements in Base Realignment and Closure Cases. 830 0 $a Special report (National Research Council (U.S.).
