In the early 1990s, the Office of Policy and Governmental Affairs embarked on a research journey entitled Searching for Solutions, A Policy Discussion Series. These 17 reports included areas that, at the time, were exploratory and advanced. The wide-ranging and forwardthinking topics included congestion pricing, public-private partnerships, public and private sector roles in intelligent vehicle highway systems, productivity and the infrastructure, air quality, productivity measures, bond financing, land use and transportation, life cycle cost analysis, North American trade, cost allocation, and the personal transportation survey. New topics have not been added to the series for almost 10 years, and the time has come to bring focus and attention into the policy challenges of the future.
