The United States Transportation Trust fund is where all of the highway projects in the United States receive funding. Its current balance is at zero and with out assistance many projects are in jeopardy. While this does not come as a surprise to those of us in the transportation industry the ramifications will effect all of the United States if not acted on quickly. The current administration had been opposed to transferring $8 billion dollars back into the trust fund but has recently dropped their opposition. The House of Representatives has passed House Resolution 6532, which would return the money to the trust fund. It was approved by a vote of 387-36. In order for this to move forward the Senate needs to take action and this is where your support is needed. Please contact both Senators Casey and Specter to ask them to support House Resolution 6532. While this is only a temporary fix it is very much needed in the short term. To put this into real numbers, Secretary Beihler has estimated that Pennsylvania would lose $543 Million Dollars if nothing happens. If you need more information please contact GVF Transportation.
