Bipartisan Efforts Intensify for Surface Transportation Reauthorization

Lawmakers are gearing up for a significant highway bill as Graves and Larsen announce a bipartisan, five-year surface transportation reauthorization deal. The US transportation construction industry is urging Congress to pass this vital legislation, which is estimated to be worth $580 billion. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee has unveiled the details of this substantial funding bill, and discussions are set to take place, with a markup targeted for May 20. The Alliance for Construction Excellence (ACA) is actively involved in national efforts to shape and strengthen America’s transportation future and has joined a coalition calling on Congress for the 2026 reauthorization. Representative Larsen has highlighted the importance of bipartisanship in the ongoing highway bill debate, while new Democratic members are hosting stakeholder roundtables to gather insights on the surface transportation reauthorization.
