WASHINGTON-Ahead of today’s House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Hearing, “Building a 21st Century Infrastructure for America,” the Americans for Modern Transportation coalition released the following statement from spokesperson Melissa Manson:
“As our country’s transportation infrastructure continues to deteriorate, bipartisan collaboration has become critical. We applaud Chairman Shuster for prioritizing the search for these important solutions and spurring further dialogue in the first days of the 115th Congress. We look forward to working with the entirety of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee as we seize the opportunity to modernize our nation’s transportation system and usher in a new era of economic growth.”
