John Katko (NY-24), member of the House Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure and Surface Transportation Conference Committee member, today released the following update regarding the conference report on the surface transportation reauthorization legislation:\nFrom Syracuse, to Auburn, to Oswego, families and individuals across the 24th Congressional District depend on the critical transportation services that Centro provides for access to jobs, to school, and to ensure care for their families. While funding for these transit services was threatened by an amendment to the highway bill, my colleagues and I on the House and Senate Conference Committee have made progress on an agreement that will ensure Centro continues to receive sufficient funding.\nAs a member of the House selected to join with our colleagues in the Senate to conference on this bill, it has been my top priority to restore funding for transit programs. Senator Schumer, Rep. Nadler, and other members of the New York delegation have played critical roles in our bipartisan effort to communicate Centro's needs. \nWhile talks are still ongoing, an agreement on this long-term, bipartisan bill will not only allow Centro to continue to provide vital services across CNY, but the bill as a whole will provide Central New York with the stability and flexibility that our community needs to invest in our infrastructure.\"\nCongressman John Katko represents the 24th Congressional District, which includes all of Onondaga, Cayuga, and Wayne Counties and a portion of Oswego County.
