Eddie Bernice Johnson: “Written statement by Representative Eddie Bernice Johnson, Chairwoman, Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, U.S.…”

Thank you, Chairman DeFazio, and Ranking Member Graves, for holding today's hearing on our nation's transportation workers.

We need investments in the operation, staffing, and pay and benefits to keep and attract people to aviation jobs.

Keeping transit agencies staffed up will determine whether we can meet the mobility and accessibility challenges facing our region.

Democrats, with very little help from our Republican colleagues, passed the largest transportation and infrastructure bill in history.
