Sam Graves: “I am always offended every time I hear you come up here and talk about all the high-tech things you have going on up in…”

We are here today to discuss discretionary grant programs at the Department of Transportation (DOT) and to hear firsthand from stakeholders about their experiences with the Department's grant processes.

We must maintain the user pays principle, and find some solutions for putting the Highway Trust Fund on a more sustainable fiscal path.

We are grateful to Congressman Nehls (R-TX), along with Chairmen Sam Graves (R-MO) and Garret Graves (R-LA), for their leadership on this issue.

I appreciate your efforts.
