AASHTO Press Release

Statement by John Horsley, AASHTO Executive Director
on the Action by the House Appropriations Committee
to Restore RABA Funding
We are pleased to see the House act quickly to alleviate the potential loss of highway funds for FY 2003. Many state fiscal years begin only in a few months, and the proposed cuts to highway funding would have serious impacts nationwide on highway construction and employment.

By attaching a funding provision to the supplemental appropriations bill it reported today, the House Appropriations Committee has taken a major step to restore funding cuts.

AASHTO is appreciative of this action by the Appropriations Committee and looks forward to working with them and other transportation leaders to ensure that funding is, in fact, restored.
