Reshaped by recent legislative deregulation, the existing U.S. transportation infrastructure is becoming increasingly constrained by capacity. Policies that have favored continued highway construction and large commercial service airports are being challenged by forecasts that the demand for transportation will continue to outgrow our ability to construct new interstate lanes and runways. In response, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has proposed a national Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS), a revolutionary solution that would combine emerging aircraft and communications technologies with underutilized aviation infrastructure to meet our future transportation needs. This article briefly reviews (a) watershed legislation that has affected the transportation infrastructure in the United States and (b) how transportation has failed to keep pace with demographic changes. The article concludes with a discussion of issues relevant to the development of a national transportation policy for the 21st century that includes SATS.
