New Legislative Conference Speakers:
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) chairs the critically important Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
Last week, Senator Brown convened a committee hearing titled "21st Century Communities: Public Transportation Infrastructure Investment and FAST Act Reauthorization," where he made clear that equitable investment in public transit will create jobs and improve our communities.
Legislative Conference attendees will also hear from Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR), chair of the key House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
Rep. DeFazio is a long-time champion of public transit and said today, "we must act on a transformational infrastructure bill." That follows his statement last week: "By modernizing our infrastructure, we can create millions of jobs, become more competitive in the global economy, make transportation more affordable and equitable, create more livable communities, and reduce carbon pollution."
