David Price (D-NC) issued the following statement today after voting in support of a bill extending the Highway Trust Fund. Today in the House, I voted for H.R. 5021, which would provide $10.8 billion to restore solvency to the Highway Trust Fund (HTF), and would extend funding for our federal surface transportation programs through May 2015. Without taking action, the HTF balance would reach zero by August and the authorization would expire on September 30, putting hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk and hindering future transportation investments. "While I am pleased that Congress is moving to prevent any immediate default of the HTF, I am disappointed that the bill simply kicks the can down the road. America's transportation infrastructure network requires a long-term federal commitment. Once this short-term Highway Trust Fund crisis is resolved, I hope that Congress will work to pass a long-term authorization bill that provides certainty for cities, States and businesses and ensures that our surface transportation system facilitates jobs and economic growth and delivers the long-term assets needed to keep the U.S. economy functioning and provide mobility to all Americans. # # # | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
