      "summary": "President Clinton signed the FY2001 Department of Transportation (DOT) Appropriations Act\n( P.L.\n106-346 ;  H.Rept. 106-940 ) on October 23, 2000. The agreement provides $57.978 billion for DOT.\nThis is an increase of more than 14% over the enacted FY2000 level. The Act provides increases\nfor all major DOT agencies except the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). On December 21,\n2000, President Clinton signed the FY2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act ( P.L. 106-554 ). The\nAct provided for a government-wide rescission of 0.22%. This cut $125 million from the DOT\nbudget for FY2001.\n  Both houses of Congress had passed somewhat different versions of the FY2001 appropriations\nbill ( H.R. 4475 ). The House of Representatives version would have provided total\nbudgetary resources of $55.2 billion; the Senate version $54.7 billion. The roughly $500 million\ndifference was partly an outgrowth of the lower budget cap that Senators had to work with. For the\noverall DOT budget, the Senate bill would have represented a 9.5% increase over the FY2000\nbudget; the House bill a nearly 10.5% increase.\n  The FY2001 Act reflects the ongoing impact of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st\nCentury (TEA-21). It raises highway funding by 16% and mass transit funding by almost 8.5%.\nThese spending levels meet or exceed TEA-21's requirements. The Administration had proposed\nincreases of 5% for highways and roughly 9% for transit.\n  The enacted version of  H.R. 4475  appropriates additional funds not included in\neither the House or Senate-passed versions, such as: $1.37 billion for miscellaneous highway\nprojects, $600 million for the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge, roughly $55 million for the\nAppalachian development highway system; and $720 million for the Emergency Relief Federal Aid\nHighway Program.\n  The Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (FAIR21) ( P.L.\n106-181 )has also had a major impact on the FAA's funding for FY2001.  H.R. 4475 ,\nin conformance with FAIR21, provides for an increase in the FAA's total budget of roughly 25%.\n  The FY2001 Act includes language to strengthen state drunk driver blood alcohol standards to\n0.08% but phases in the highway funds reduction penalties more gradually than in the Senate passed\nbill--at a rate of 2% annually beginning in FY2004 up to a maximum of 8%. It also permits the\nFederal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to collect and analyze public comments and\ndata on its proposed hours of service rules but prohibits FMCSA from taking final action during\nFY2001.",
