Lawmakers Seek Answers on Funding

 

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood appeared before the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee as well as the Senate transportation appropriations subcommittee. He testified before the Senate Budget Committee about a surface transportation plan.

Several senators, in a series of four hearings on the U.S. Department of Transportation's Fiscal Year 2012 budget request, have expressed frustration at the Obama administration's reluctance to recommend a plan to finance its $556 billion six-year surface transportation plan. The senators suggested that the absence of a detailed funding blueprint is hampering efforts to draft a new reauthorization bill.
