"Just as House Republicans released this bill decimating rail safety investments, a train derailed blocks from the United States Capitol. While hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country are struggling to put a roof over their heads and communities are reeling from devastating train crashes and collapsing roads and bridges, House Republicans are ignoring them. The Republican 2024 Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development bill makes inexcusable transportation cuts and fails to meet the housing and infrastructure needs of a growing population. Their cuts will make everything from commuting to work to shipping goods less safe, slower, more difficult, and more expensive for Americans. They are proposing these cuts and attempting to take back the funding for existing infrastructure investments while never missing an opportunity to participate in a ribbon cutting. This bill would have lasting, harmful consequences on the health and safety of our communities."
