Tammy Baldwin: “I believe that it's time for the Congress and the Administration to step up and put their health and safety first.”

That's why I am proud to bring home this investment that will give truck drivers more safe places to rest, help prevent accidents that clog up our highways and put folks in harm’s way, and make our roads safer for everyone who uses them.

Wisconsin truck drivers work hard every day to deliver the goods we rely on, support our farmers and manufacturers, and keep our Made in Wisconsin economy moving forward.

The Appleton International Airport plays a critical role for the Fox Valley economy – bringing visitors and tourism dollars into our communities, connecting local businesses to customers and markets, and supporting good-paying jobs.

But when truck drivers can't find a safe place to pull over and rest, it puts them and everyone else on the road at risk.
