Equipment Manufacturers Applaud Leadership on Promoting Surface Transportation Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Association of Equipment Manufacturers Senior Vice President of Government & Industry Relations Kip Eideberg released the following statement in response to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s remarks to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee: 

“AEM applauds Secretary Duffy for his leadership and support for a comprehensive surface transportation bill. The U.S. economy depends on a modern, reliable infrastructure that reduces delays, lowers costs, and improves safety for families and businesses alike. Congress must act swiftly to pass a bipartisan and long-term reauthorization that delivers long-term funding certainty, empowers state and local governments, and keeps our economy moving forward. Today’s hearing was a critical step towards ensuring that Congress has the tools to draft and deliver a bill that meets the needs of hardworking Americans. Equipment manufacturers are grateful to Chairman Capito and Ranking Member Whitehouse for convening this important hearing.”
