WASHINGTON — A bottom-up approach to funding a $2 trillion infrastructure package was suggested by Bill Shuster, former chairman of the transportation policy panel in the U.S. House of Representatives, during keynote remarks at an event hosted by the Intelligent Transportation Society of America on May 15.

Most politicians rely on heavy doses of optimism when pitching policies to constituents and colleagues. That was evident with Rep. Bill Shuster, who emulated his father, Bud, in his ability to charm and persuade the people in his Pennsylvania district, as well as members of the committee.

WASHINGTON — A long-term infrastructure funding bill will be considered by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the panel’s chairman told Transport Topics on May 17.

WASHINGTON — Shortly after addressing state transportation directors on March 1, House Transportation Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) said he is hopeful Congress would take up an infrastructure funding measure this year.

The top transportation authorizer in the House announced six staff updates for his committee for the 115th Congress convening in January.

After nearly losing his seat in the Republican primary earlier this year, Rep. Bill Shuster, the top transportation policymaker in the U.S. House, was easily re-elected to a ninth term.
