The first step to reauthorize the country’s highway programs is scheduled for July 30 in the Senate, thanks to the leadership of the Environment and Public Works Committee.
This five-year, $287 billion reauthorization of the 2015 FAST Act highway law was described by Chairman John Barrasso as “the most substantial highway infrastructure bill in history.”
“The bill cuts Washington red tape, so road construction can get done faster, better, cheaper and smarter. It will help create jobs and support our strong, growing, and healthy economy. Infrastructure is critical to our country and we should responsibly pay for this legislation,” Barrasso (R-Wyo.) explained.
