The U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure approved two major pieces of legislation to modernize America’s roads, bridges, highways, rail, transit, and wastewater systems.
Committee Chair Peter DeFazio (D-OR) said the two bills, the INVEST in America Act and the Water Quality Protection and Job Creation Act of 2021, represented a “once-in-a-generation opportunity” to transform investments into American infrastructure.
“Infrastructure is calling, and we are answering with bold legislation that invests in American workers and communities and lays the groundwork for the president’s visionary Americans Jobs Plan,” said Chair Peter DeFazio (D-OR).
