WASHINGTON — With today’s release of the House Democrats’ surface transportation reauthorization package, the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) is urging lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to come together and expedite passage of an infrastructure-based recovery agenda.
“Today is just the beginning of the conversation in the House, but we are one step closer to achieving the goal of a long-term recovery program for America,” said Linda Bauer Darr, president and CEO, ACEC. “The final bill must be bold enough to embrace new technologies and resilient design practices while funding the essential road, bridge, and transit work that will pave the way for America’s economic reawakening.”
