Transportation Reauthorization
This fiscally responsible, multi-year proposal follows these clear mandates from the American people and creates long-term jobs by: Reforming our federal transportation programs, Reducing the federal bureaucracy, Better leveraging and maximizing the value of limited federal resources, Streamlining the project approval process, Improving programs that don’t work while building upon programs that work well, and Providing flexibility to states to address their own unique, critical infrastructure needs.
This proposal reauthorizes the federal highways, transit, and highway safety programs with the revenues collected for that specific purpose in the Highway Trust Fund. Long-term funding for these programs is essential for states to plan major infrastructure improvements and create jobs. By reducing the federal bureaucracy, eliminating waste, and cutting red tape to make infrastructure programs work better, we can do more with less. Read more
