The last major six-year highway authorization bill, SAFETEA-LU, expired on September 30, 2009. Since then, the federal highway program has been running on a series of extensions. By failing to enact new legislation, Congress has severely undermined the nation’s primary infrastructure funding source, the Highway Trust Fund. Our country’s roads and bridges are aging rapidly and without a strong commitment to the surface transportation program, our infrastructure faces a grim future. Please join us in urging Congressional lawmakers to support our highways by funding a robust highway bill that will adequately support our roads.
