## Resource

The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has passed a significant transportation bill, authorizing around $580 billion for highways and rail through fiscal year 2031. The BUILD AMERICA 250 Act aims to strengthen the economy with robust transportation systems, despite bipartisan disagreements on specific provisions. A contentious rail safety provision, linked to the 2023 East Palestine train derailment, was added, potentially impacting the bills future.
