The current federal transportation law, SAFETEA-LU, expires September 30. The Obama Administration and some members of the U.S. Senate want to delay the bill for 18 months until the early 2011. Leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives, including Transportation & Infrastructure (T&I) Chairman Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.) want to move ahead with a full six-year bill as soon as possible. TCI supports passage of the bill now.
