(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) released the following statement after the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee approved the BUILD America 250 Act:

“The United States needs a surface transportation reauthorization bill that makes sustained, strategic investments in our nation’s infrastructure to strengthen global competitiveness, create jobs, support American manufacturing and exports, and improve safety for workers and communities,” said ARTBA Chair Tony Fassino. “The bipartisan BUILD America 250 Act reflects that commitment, and we look forward to the House moving this critical legislation forward.”
