The transportation bill will do more to create jobs through public investment than any other piece of legislation that this House has passed in the last 18 months. It puts thousands to work repairing roads, bridges and highways, and maintaining our transit systems.

College affordability is a necessary step for creating opportunity for the future. The bill sends a clear message to college students everywhere that America will invest in you. ____________________
