Rep. Shuster to discuss transportation legislation at Oct. 22 meeting

U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA), who is also the chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, announced Wednesday that the committee has scheduled a 10 a.m. meeting for Oct. 22 in room 2167 of the Rayburn House Office Building, in order to discuss the transportation reauthorization legislation.

“Our nation's economy depends on a safe, efficient surface transportation system, and one of the Transportation Committee's priorities is to address the needs of the system,” Shuster said.

Shuster added that next week the committee will move forward with the policy and authorization provisions of a bill to improve Americas surface transportation infrastructure, reform programs, refocus those programs on national priorities, provide more flexibility and certainty for state and local partners and welcome innovation.
