Importance of Passing a Surface Transportation Bill

A surface transportation bill is vital for providing long-term stability to states, businesses, and workers. Renewing the nation’s surface transportation authorization is crucial this fall. This multi-year framework funds and sets policies for federal highways, bridges, transit systems, and freight infrastructure. It enables states and private partners to responsibly plan, finance, and execute major projects.

The Hill, known for its nonpartisan reporting on government operations and the interaction between politics and business, emphasizes the importance of this renewal. Without it, planning and financing these substantial projects would lack the necessary assurance.
