摘要：

This article examines ISTEA's impact on intergovernmental relations in transportation policy over the past six years and provides an overview of the political maneuvering that look place during its reauthorization. ISTEA had a significant, decentralizing impact on transportation policy, but its 1997-1998 reauthorization was driven by electoral concerns that transcended congressional views on American federalism. These electoral concerns help to explain why ISTEA's reauthorization process took so long, why the decentralization in transportation policy that took place in 1991 was not broadened by TEA-21, and why it is unlikely that transportation policy will ever be fully devolved to the states and localities.
