Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) voted today for the Surface Transportation Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2015, a multi-year, fiscally responsible surface transportation bill to reauthorize and reform America's highway and public transportation systems.This bipartisan legislation, which passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 363-64 margin, while not perfect, will help bring much-needed certainty to roads and bridge projects in Michigan without raising taxes. It also streamlines and accelerates project delivery, provides greater flexibility to state and local governments to better address their priorities, maintains a strong commitment to transportation safety, promotes innovation and 21st Century technologies, and other important reforms. "This bipartisan transportation bill is the byproduct of both parties coming together to address the people's priorities. With parts of my district being fortunate to have such strong and vital infrastructure corridors such as I-69, I-94, I-96, I-75, I-275, US-12, US-23, US-27 and US-127, it was important to take a critical bipartisan step forward towards providing the certainty and investments to strengthen Michigan's roads and bridges. Improving our infrastructure will help ease congestion, increase safety, speed up delivery of goods and services, create jobs, and improve quality of life for working families," said Walberg. Congressman Walberg serves on the House Education and the Workforce Committee as Chair of the Workforce Protections Subcommittee. In addition, he serves on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
