Issues: Infrastructure

The U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee unanimously approved a bipartisan surface transportation bill Thursday to reauthorize and reform federal highway, transit, and highway safety programs. The Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform (STRR) Act of 2015 (H.R. 3763) included two amendments from U.S. Representative Scott Perry (PA-4) to improve roadway safety and remove government obstacles to job creation.

"One of the core functions of the federal government is to ensure that America has the necessary transportation infrastructure to grow interstate commerce and strengthen America's competitive edge in the global economy," said Rep. Perry. "All of us can see that our infrastructure is crumbling around us. It's time to stop talking and start doing something about it."
