The amendment to allow every Interstate highway in the nation to be tolled was defeated.
Congratulations OOIDA members! We did it!!!
Today, the U.S. Senate passed a two-year surface transportation reauthorization bill. While not a perfect bill, we do have some great news to report. The Senate legislation DID NOT contain the Carper Amendment. As you know, the amendment would have given states a blank check to toll the entire Interstate Highway System.
Your phone calls truly made a difference in getting this amendment stripped from the bill. Thank you!!
Additionally, the legislation DID contain the Bingaman amendment which will prevent U.S. highway tax dollars from being diverted for privatized highways. Another win for us!!
Again, thank you to all those who made their voices heard on Capitol Hill. You really did make a big difference in this fight and we would not have done it without you.
Warm Regards,
Todd Spencer
