APTA Congratulates New T&I Leaders DeFazio, Graves
APTA congratulates the new leaders of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee: Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), chairman, and Sam Graves, ranking member. APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas called both DeFazio and Graves “tireless advocates for transportation investment [who] have worked together in a bipartisan manner to champion initiatives that advance public transportation.”
APTA Urges Congress to End the Shutdown, Increase Investment in Public Transportation
APTA released a statement Jan. 3 encouraging the 116th Congress to end the partial government shutdown that has continued for nearly two weeks and approve the FY 2019 budget for transportation as well as work together to develop bipartisan infrastructure investment legislation.
In the statement, APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas acknowledged the House’s passage of legislation that would provide full-year funding for DOT, including more than $16 billion for public transportation and passenger rail investments, and called on congressional leaders and President Trump to work toward a bipartisan solution to end the shutdown.
He called the legislation “critical to restore the nation's public transportation systems to a state of good repair, expand services to growing communities and keep the economy moving by creating jobs, increasing prosperity, and connecting people to jobs, local businesses and health care.”
Just prior to the shutdown, FRA announced $46.3 million in grant funding for 11 projects in 10 states to assist with deploying PTC systems for passenger rail—completing the award of $250 million in funding made available under the FY 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act and via the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program. The full list of recipients is here.
