If You Haven’t Contacted Your Rep, There is Still Time!
Throughout the month of August, ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ chapters and members have been visiting with their Congressmen, urging them to pass a long-term, fully funded transportation bill when they return to Washington in September. If you have not yet , now is the time to do so.
The Senate completed action on a six-year transportation bill before the August recess, and the House has indicated that it will work on its version of a bill when Congress reconvenes after Labor Day. ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ has heard reports that the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee will hold a transportation hearing on Sept. 17, although this has not been made official. With the current short-term extension of highway & transit programs expiring at the end of October, it is important you continue to to focus on passing a long-term bill and avoid another short-term extension. Resources to help you schedule in-person meetings can be found on the page.
