Today, the House of Representatives passed three key pieces of transportation-related legislation sponsored by U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens).
The measures, which passed unanimously, were attached to the $325 billion Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act, the bill that funds the nation's roads, bridges, highways and mass transit systems.
"These measures will go a long way towards saving children's lives, preventing future tragedies and ensuring that privacy protections are addressed for future driving technology," said Meng. "I thank my colleagues in the House for approving these common-sense pieces of legislation, and look forward to our nation benefiting from each one after all are enacted into law."
