WASHINGTON – As Congress considers legislation to avoid a shortfall of the Highway Trust Fund, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx and 11 of his predecessors offered the following open letter to Congress. Excerpts from the letter follow:
This week, it appears that Congress will act to stave off the looming
insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund. The bill, if passed, should extend
surface transportation funding until next
May.
We are hopeful that Congress appears willing to avert the immediate crisis.
But we want to be clear: This bill will not “fix” America’s
transportation system. For that, we need a much larger and longer-term
investment. On this, all twelve of us agree. Suffice it to say, we’ve
been around the block. We probably helped pave it.
So it is with some knowledge and experience that we can write: Never in our nation’s history has America’s transportation system been on a more unsustainable course.
