EPW Committee Markup scheduled for May 15th
Washington, D.C. -- Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee (EPW), Senator David Vitter (R-LA), Ranking Member of the Committee, Senator Tom Carper (D-DE), Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee, and Senator John Barrasso (R-WY), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee, today announced the markup date for the reauthorization of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), long-term bipartisan legislation to fund and improve the nation's Federal-aid highway programs for six years at current funding plus inflation.
The bill will be marked up in the EPW Committee on Thursday, May 15th at 10:00 am ET. The current surface transportation bill, MAP-21, expires on September 30th.
Draft will be available May 12th.
This might give a better indication of what will actually happen as opposed to the highly partisan House proposal.
