Delaney Statement on Three-Month Highway Bill Extension

WASHINGTON – Today the House passed a three-month extension to the Highway Trust Fund. Absent Congressional action, the nation’s primary source of transportation funding will expire in two days.

“If everyone in Congress left the Capitol tonight and rode with my constituents on the Red Line or I-270 or I-81, this would be the last short-term highway bill we’d be forced to pass” said Congressman John K. Delaney (MD-6).

Earlier this year over 400 Marylanders shared with Delaney stories of how America’s crumbling infrastructure is impacting their lives. Delaney has led Congressional efforts to pass a long-term infrastructure bill using revenues from international tax reform. Delaney is the author of the Infrastructure 2.0 Act (H.R. 625) legislation to fund a six-year Highway Bill at increased levels, create a new American Infrastructure Fund and bring overseas profits back home.
