Polis Fights for Colorado Priorities in House Transportation Bill

Statement

Rep. Jared Polis (CO-02) today introduced several amendments to H.R. 22, a six-year surface transportation reauthorization bill, to address longstanding problems affecting Coloradans. The amendments follow a letter Polis sent in September to the leaders of the House Transportation Committee outlining Colorado priorities for the upcoming highway bill.

"The federal government needs to do a better job at improving and managing our highways, railroads, and bridges," Polis said. "Transportation challenges are a huge quality of life issue for thousands of Coloradans every day, making our state less efficient, less productive, and less attractive to visitors and potential residents. These measures take a targeted approach to easing some of these challenges."
