Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) plans to bring a surface transportation authorization bill before her fellow Senate Environment and Public Works Committee members as early as April, according to NSSGA. Boxer is planning a series of committee hearings to build momentum for action on a bill.
According to NSSGA, while the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has jurisdiction over most transportation regulations and policy, the Senate Finance Committee must find a way to save the Highway Trust Fund.
