Peter DeFazio: “I think we can be very proud of what we have accomplished, and in good part, generated by this committee.”

It has been three decades--I have been here 36 years, and I was in my second term when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, signed by G.H.W. Bush and significantly amended in 2008 and signed by G.W. Bush.

Much of this forward-looking, practice-relevant, and transportation workforce expanding effort was catalyzed through the leadership of Congressman DeFazio fifteen years ago.

This has always been a bipartisan issue, and we should be able to make more progress.

I think there is going to be a lot of work coming.
