Congress floats two highway funding proposals; one ignores truck parking
With the current highway spending legislation, the FAST Act, set to expire Sept. 30, some House Republicans and a bipartisan Senate committee each released surface transportation funding proposals in the last week.
The Republicans’ plan, the Surface Transportation Advanced through Reform, Technology, & Efficient Review (STARTER) Act 2.0, would provide more than $400 billion for infrastructure over five years and prioritizes programs that address core infrastructure functions, notably highways and bridges. Republicans said it would help facilitate commerce and would focus on safety and efficiency. It was introduced by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-Missouri) and other Republican Committee leaders.
