Nearly 300 members of the House from both parties signed a letter calling for a long-term surface transportation bill that transcends short-term fixes to the Highway Trust Fund. "We are united in our conviction that now is the time to end the cycle of short-term extensions that kick the can down the road by doing the work needed to pass a multi-year
surface transportation reauthorization bill," reads the letter, which was released Feb. 24. Reps. Reid Ribble (R-WI), Tom Reed (R-NY), Dan Lipinski (D-IL) and Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ) co-authored the letter.
