Washington, DC – House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-PA) released the following statement today after the House approved H.R. 3236, a bill to fund and extend the authorization for federal highway and transit programs through the end of October: “This legislation continues to fund road, bridge, and other infrastructure improvements for America while providing the House time to put forward a fiscally responsible long-term surface transportation proposal when Congress returns and then go to conference with the Senate.  We all share the same goal of completing a long-term bill as soon as possible, and ensuring that critical programs do not shut down before we achieve that goal is the right thing to do.”
