(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) issued a rule Nov. 22 requiring state departments of transportation to set goals for reducing carbon emissions from cars and trucks on their roads.
Please attribute the following statement to ARTBA President and CEO Dave Bauer:
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) would not have been bipartisan had it included requirements on states for mitigating the impacts of global climate change.
“States should be prioritizing the delivery of transportation safety and mobility improvements with the funds from the landmark BIL, while consensus solutions are pursued to the world’s climate issues.”
