Tammy Baldwin: “I want to reiterate what I said yesterday about how pleased I am that we are at this point of bipartisan hearings.”

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.

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.

Wisconsin businesses rely on our railways and waterways to get their Made in Wisconsin products to customers across the country.

Expanding passenger rail means more safe, easy ways to get to and from work or school, more tourists coming into our communities and buying things in our shops, and more good-paying jobs across our state.
