DOT Secretary Ray LaHood Wednesday said the TIGER team will be co-chaired by Lana Hurdle, deputy assistant secretary for budget and programs, and Joe Szabat, deputy assistant secretary for transportation policy. The TIGER team will prioritize highway, bridge, transit, rail, aviation, and intermodal spending, and is also charged with developing reporting standards to track the money spent and ensure accountability, LaHood said. "We created the TIGER team to make sure that DOT's portion of recovery funding goes out to states and localities as quickly as possible in order to immediately create jobs and strengthen our economy and transportation systems," LaHood said in a statement. www.railwayage.com    Report
