Incoming Senate chairs expected to rein in infrastructure dollars
The next surface transportation reauthorization bill, which is set to begin negotiations as soon as next year, could see significant challenges in light of the Republican’s incoming Senate majority. According to Roll Call, the 2021 infrastructure law, which added $550 billion in funding for roads, bridges and public transit, may face reduced spending in future legislation, particularly with new committee leaders such as Sen. Ted Cruz, who has opposed expanded infrastructure spending.
