APTA Releases Legislative Alert on House THUD Bill
APTA released a Legislative Alert May 16 regarding that day’s markup of the Fiscal Year 2019 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD) appropriations bill by the House THUD Appropriations Subcommittee.
APTA stated that the FY 2019 legislation, likely to go to the full committee next week, builds on the historic public transportation and passenger rail investments made in the 2018 THUD Appropriations Act.
The bill provides $16.5 billion for public transportation and intercity passenger rail, comprising $13.6 billion for public transportation and $2.9 billion for intercity passenger rail. The total FY 2019 public transportation and intercity passenger rail funding levels are $203 million above the historic investments provided earlier this year and $2.5 billion more than provided in FY 2017.
In addition, the Senate Committee on Appropriations is expected to begin the process of considering its THUD Appropriations bill in early June.
