How would different modes of transportation fare under a cap-and-trade regime for reducing greenhouse gas emissions? Which modes would be winners and which would be losers, and what can the different modes do to lessen their impact on the environment? Are market incentives enough to bring about sufficient cuts in the estimated 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions that come from the transportation sector?

What role should public-private partnerships play in the future of the U.S. transportation system? And what can lawmakers learn from two new studies on them: the Pew Center on the States' report on the debate over leasing the Pennsylvania Turnpike to a private firm and the U.S. PIRG Education Fund's report on protecting the public from bad deals?
