8 We have proudly delivered on this promise since 1958, providing the world s leading aviation system and setting an unparalleled standard for safety and efficiency that is emulated globally. Today, our mission is framed by four strategic initiatives: making aviation safer and smarter; delivering benefits through technology and infrastructure; enhancing global leadership; and empowering and innovating with FAA s people. To this end, we are using these strategic initiatives as the framework for transforming FAA and the aerospace system. By focusing on risk-based decision making, we will build on safety management principles to proactively address emerging safety risks at a system level. We will lay the foundation for the National Airspace System (NAS) of the future by achieving prioritized Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) benefits, integrating new user entrants, and delivering more efficient, streamlined services.

9 We will improve safety , efficiency, and environment sustainability across the globe through an approach that shapes global standards, enhances collaboration and better targets FAA resources. And lastly, we are preparing for the future by identifying, recruiting and training a workforce with the leadership, technical and functional skills to ensure the United States has the safest and most productive aviation sector. Ten years ago we embarked on our ambitious transformation program while supporting an already aging legacy infrastructure. The FAA began the process of reinventing the NAS, replacing legacy tools, procedures, capabilities and technologies to more efficiently and safely move air traffic using modern systems and methods. The FAA s implementation of NextGen was predicated on a stable and sufficient level of funding over multiple years to efficiently complete this transformation.

10 When FAA s NextGen plans were developed in 2009, the Facilities & Equipment (F&E) funding profile rose rapidly, and the outyear funding target was approximately $1 billion higher than it is today. F&E funding was reduced from $ billion per year in FY 2009-2010 to just $ billion per year in FY 2013-2015. The FAA addressed these funding challenges by re-focusing our efforts on achieving some near-term NextGen benefits while delaying others, and making targeted investments to extend the lifecycle of certain systems and equipment. We deferred maintenance on other existing infrastructure, causing the maintenance backlog to grow. In the face of these challenges, the FAA has made solid progress implementing the NextGen foundation and delivering near-term NextGen benefits to our users. We will continue collaborating with industry to deliver the next wave of benefits from the systems, technologies and procedures that will provide enhanced levels of safety and tangible efficiencies for the traveling public.
