This paper advocates reform of National Transportation Policy (NTP) in a manner that seeks to balance the United States' approach to domestic transportation. The United States faces increasing security risks as a result of its appetite for an ever-increasing share of world oil supplies required to fuel an outdated transportation system enabled by a failed or absent National Transportation Policy (NTP). The Transportation Efficiency Act to End Oil Addiction (TEATOA), advocated within this paper, provides a template that will facilitate the transformation of the current energy-gluttonous transportation system into one that is much more efficient and tailored to enable prosperity in an energy-constrained environment.
