Congressional Leaders Share Transportation Priorities

AASHTO February 9, 2024

Four key Congressional leaders outlined some of their current and future transportation focus areas at the 2024 Washington Briefing held by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials in Washington, D.C.

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) – ranking member on the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works – emphasized that the funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or IIJA is helping deliver “amazing” success.

“We are seeing great progress at the state level,” she said in her remarks. “We worked hard to compromise so we had a robust [bill] that satisfied our transportation infrastructure needs, preserving as much formula funding as we could. And we ended up voting it out of committee unanimously – I really think that indicates it is good policy.”
