Transportation Solutions for TexasOther ActionsSupport Full Federal Funding for High-Speed Rail
Right now, Congress is finalizing this year's transportation appropriations bill, which could include a historic investment in high speed passenger rail. Last month, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that included $4 billion for high-speed rail. The Senate cut the allocation down to $1.2 billion in its version, which passed last week. The two bills will now move to a conference committee that will decide the final amount of investment. The conference committee will meet soon in hopes of finalizing the bill by the end of the month. We'd like to send Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison a roster of support by the end of the week, so we need sign-ons quickly.
