The House has approved a bill to extend federal highway and transit programs for the next six years. But the estimated $325-billion measure, which the House passed on Nov. 5 by a 363-64 vote, only includes enough funding for three years.
The bill's sponsor, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) said in a statement that the measure will "give our infrastructure and our economy a much-needed shot in the arm."
