National League of Cities Working for Transportation Dollars

The chair of NLC’s Transportation Infrastructure and Service policy committee spoke last month at the National Transportation Summit in Washington, D.C., about the logistics behind NLC’s “Surface Transportation Funding and Reauthorization” initiative.  According to a report on NLC's website, they are requesting that that Congress provide full funding for federal transportation programs that support bridges, roads, highways and other transit priorities. 

NLC is further seeking support for funding that goes directly to local governments, such as funding for transit, transportation enhancements and the Congestion Management Air Quality Program that helps reduce congestion and protect the environment.  Read more on the NLC website here.
