In the wake of the Trump Administration’s $1.5 trillion infrastructure plan, several in the transportation industry came out to voice their displeasure for the plan and to urge Congress to keep the door open for further discussion and input from all major stakeholders.
“On behalf of the American Public Transportation Association’s (APTA) 1,500 members and the tens of millions of people who rely on public transportation daily, we support the Administration’s commitment to strengthen America’s infrastructure, but strongly oppose the deep cuts in federal funding for existing public transit infrastructure programs as a way to fund it,” said APTA President/CEO Paul P. Skoutelas in a statement.
