Tammy Baldwin: “The Coast Guard saves about 4,000 lives each year.”

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.

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.

I request that the Administration reverse course on this decision.

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.
