A House panel approved legislation that would ensure the continuity of operations at the U.S. Department of Transportation through fiscal 2023.
The approval by the Democratic-led Appropriations Committee on June 30 advanced the fiscal 2023 transportation funding bill to the floor of the House. The chamber’s leaders have indicated the measure would likely be considered prior to the congressional August recess.
For the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the bill would provide $367.5 million for safety operations and programs, and for the agency’s safety grants division it would provide $506.1 million. Additionally, the measure would dedicate $61.3 billion for the Federal Highway Administration, $18.7 billion for the Federal Aviation Administration, $17.5 billion for the Federal Transit Administration, $3.8 billion for the Federal Railroad Administration and $1.2 billion for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
