Historic INVEST Act passes the House, Onwards to the Senate towards Transportation Reauthorization
Last week, the US House of Representatives took a bold step in passing sweeping legislation that rethinks the US transportation framework towards fixing it first, safety over speed, connecting people to jobs and services, and going a step further towards addressing climate change plus equity and inclusion.
