Capitol Hill Briefing: Investing in Infrastructure: County Priorities in Transportation and Infrastructure Legislation

As the 116th Congress works to reauthorize a surface transportation bill and considers developing comprehensive infrastructure legislation, a strong federal-state-local partnership is critical. Owning 45 percent of public roads, almost 40 percent of the National Bridge Inventory and operating 78 percent of all public transit systems, county priorities must be included in any federal transportation and infrastructure package. Join this Capitol Hill briefing to hear from members of Congress on the status of this legislation, as well as from county leaders about the unique infrastructure challenges local governments face and how the federal government can implement public policy to improve our nation’s transportation infrastructure system.
