Durbin | D000563 | www.durbin.senate.gov | durbin | https://www.durbin.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) today met with Bob Guy, SMART-TD Illinois State Safety and Legislative Director, and other SMART-TD leaders, about the need for a robust surface transportation reauthorization to continue the critical funding programs and infrastructure projects supported by the historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Durbin and SMART-TD also spoke about the need for greater rail safety measures. “Our rail workers serve an integral role in our state’s economy, keeping our transit systems in top shape so they can deliver for riders. The federal government can do its part to support our union workers and our transit systems by pushing for a robust surface transportation reauthorization and greater rail safety improvements,” Durbin said.
