House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Holds Organizational Meeting
Finalizes Subcommittee Rosters, Rules, and Oversight Plan
Washington, DC—Today, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure held its organizational meeting, where the Committee finalized subcommittee assignments and the Committee rules.
“Transportation is not a partisan issue, it’s about moving people and goods more efficiently in this country and connecting us to the world,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Peter DeFazio (D-OR). “Every state and territory in our country is profoundly affected by the decisions made in this committee. As Chairman, I will tirelessly work to build bipartisan agreement and promote common sense, comprehensive solutions to address the major issues facing our aging, 20th century infrastructure and champion a smarter, more resilient infrastructure. I will work to build bipartisan agreement around legislation that strengthens the Federal commitment to our national transportation network and boosts investments that result in job creation and increased economic growth. I look forward to working with my Democratic and Republican colleagues in order to achieve our shared goals. Together, we can lay the groundwork for infrastructure investment that delivers for generations to come”
“Infrastructure can bring us together like few other issues can. It’s why this Committee has a long-standing tradition of bipartisanship – a tradition that produces results. We’ve passed some very good bipartisan legislation here, but we all know that we have more work to do to improve our roads, bridges, airports, inland waterways, ports, transit systems, the nation’s rail system, disaster programs, and more,” said Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO). “It’s pretty rare that the stars align like this on any issue in Washington, but the President indicated in his State of the Union address that he wants to get something done for our infrastructure, Republicans and Democrats in Congress want to get something done, and the American people want us to get something done. I hope that we can take advantage of this opportunity, because we can’t afford to let our efforts get stuck in idle. But I’m confident we can get the job done, and I look forward to working with Chairman DeFazio and all our Committee Members to do so.”
