In a letter sent Friday, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) urged Congress to fully fund the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
APTA President and CEO Paul P. Skoutelas said the organization hoped Congress would uphold the promise of the investments authorized in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
“We urge Congress to honor the promise of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and provide funding levels at least equal to the IIJA’s public transportation and passenger rail investments for Fiscal Year 2022,” Skoutelas said. “These historic investments will enable our communities to provide access to opportunities and create family-wage jobs, advance equity, tackle climate change, and meet growing and evolving mobility demands.”
