Congress Working On Federal Transportation Bill Extention

With just six days left until the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users expires, Congress this week is (finally) turning its' attention to drafting an extension, instead of working to pass a multi-year bill.

According to Transportation Issues Daily, Congress is expected to pass a three month extension of SAFETEA-LU this week, before breaking for a two-week Easter break. The House will take up and should pass the extension early in the week. The Senate is expected to pass the bill later in the week.
