The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is urging Congress to pass a full appropriations bill before the current Continuing Resolution (CR) expires.

 
On November 18, AASHTO president Roger Millar wrote a letter to Congressional leaders that explained the importance of passing a new Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies (THUD) appropriations bill.

Millar wrote, "While we understand the need for the current CR, it is important that Congress reaches agreement on domestic discretionary spending levels prior to its expiration and not go down the path of enacting further CRs. Rather, we strongly request Congress to finish its work on a full-year THUD appropriation bill as soon as possible to avoid disruptions to critical IIJA surface transportation programs and projects."

The current Continuing Resolution is set to expire on December 16.
