Secretary Foxx Sends Six-Year Transportation Bill to Congress

US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has sent to Congress a long-term transportation bill, the GROW AMERICA Act, which seeks to invest in American’s transport infrastructure with a six-year, $478 billion transportation reauthorization bill.

“All over the country, I hear the same account: the need to repair and expand our surface transportation system has never been greater, and yet federal transportation funding has never been in such short supply,” Secretary Foxx said. “Our proposal provides a level of funding and also funding certainty that our partners need and deserve. This is an opportunity to break away from 10 years of flat funding, not to mention these past six years in which Congress has funded transportation by passing 32 short-term measures.”
