Ryan-Shuster Statement on Year-End Surface Transportation Extension

July 13, 2015 — Blog    — Press Releases   

WASHINGTON, DC — House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) released the following joint statement today after the introduction of legislation to fund and extend the authorization for America’s highway and transit programs through the end of the year. 

“This country needs a long-term plan to fix our roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, and this bill gives us our best shot at completing one this year. By providing resources through the end of the year, we can ensure construction continues while we work toward a package that could close the trust fund’s shortfall for as many as six years. We urge all members who want some long-sought stability in our highway and transit programs to support this critical extension.”
