The last time a highway bill lasting longer than two years made it to the president's desk was 2005. For a full summary of the bills benefits to Illinois and the nation, please visit: https://transportation.house.gov/strr-act. Since my time on the Transportation Committee in the House, I have fought hard to find long-term solutions that provide certainty for Illinois state and local governments planning for infrastructure improvements. Over the past months, I have sought the input and expertise of 14th District transportation officials and communities who know first-hand their infrastructure needs. I have fought hard for their interests to be included in the final bill, including ensuring equity among Chicago, the suburbs and downstate Illinois. I am pleased Chairman Shuster has agreed to work on ensuring this equity as the bill heads to conference with the Senate, said Rep. Hultgren. As I have urged House leadership previously, I believe we must avoid short-term funding bills and prevent never-ending fiscal crises from stopping our important work of overseeing how tax dollars are spent. I look forward to moving the final bill to the presidents desk and continuing the trend toward long-term fiscal planning in all areas of government. Rep. Hultgren has received input from a variety of transportation officials and communities throughout the 14th District: ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
