Highway Bill Easily Clears Senate Committee with Bipartisan Support

摘要

Enjoying broad support at the committee level, the bipartisan legislation would boost authorized funding levels for federal highway and bridge programs, expedite project delivery, and reduce congestion and carbon emissions associated with transportation.
