Update on Surface Transportation Bill
On Friday, July 24, the Senate passed a further procedural vote to advance the surface transportation bill. Senators are expected to work over the weekend and next week on the bill as the July 31 funding deadline looms. The House has approved a five-month extension to Dec. 18 to allow additional time to enact a long-term bill.
As the Senate bill stands today, the public transit authorization would increase from $10.690 billion in the current year to $11.633 billion in Fiscal Year 2016, and increase over the next six years to $13.36 billion in FY 2021. For the latest details, visit the APTA website.
