TO MEMORIALIZE THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO PASS AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO ENACT IMMEDIATELY A WELL-FUNDED, MULTI-YEAR REAUTHORIZATION OF FEDERAL AND HIGHWAY TRANSIT PROGRAMS.
Whereas, legislation to reauthorize the federal-aid highway and transit programs is more than seventeen months overdue; and
Whereas, the six short-term program extensions enacted by the United States Congress have deferred action on funding, resulting in the delay of construction of critical highway and transit projects, impeded job creation, and postponed lifesaving safety improvements and the completion of congestion reducing measures; and
Whereas, further delay will increase project costs and dilute the purchasing power of federal transportation dollars; and
Whereas, investments in transportation are investments in people; and
Whereas, a well-functioning transportation system is critical to America's security, productivity, and global competitiveness; and
Whereas, inadequate funding proposals impede the ability of the United States Congress to reach agreement on a long term bill. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of South Carolina, by this resolution, urge the members of the United States Congress to pass and the President of the United States to enact immediately a well-funded, multi-year reauthorization of federal highway and transit programs.
Be it further resolved that copies of this resolution be forwarded to each member of the South Carolina Congressional Delegation and the President of the United States.
