The Senate and the House have named conferees tasked with reconciling the Senate (S. 1813) and the House (H.R. 4348) versions of surface transportation reauthorization legislation. The conferees will have their first meeting May 8th to begin this process. This is an important hurdle in getting a long term reauthorization of federal highway and transit programs to the President. The ATM Coalition's Make Transportation Job #1 campaign in support of an adequately funded long term surface transportation bill continues to make a difference on Capitol Hill with its letter to the hill signed by over 1000 groups, radio and tv spots and radio interviews aired throughout the country, continual in-district meetings with Members of Congress, and a countless individual-sent letters to Members of Congress.
