AASHTO Emphasizes The Need For Legislative Action Prior To FAST Act Expiration
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) issued a statement applauding Senate passage of the bipartisan infrastructure measure and its “five years of funding stability for highway, transit, and passenger rail programs, with a large share of the Highway Trust Fund support provided directly to the state departments of transportation that keep our communities moving safely and efficiently.” AASHTO pledged to work with federal lawmakers to get the measure to final enactment “before the FAST Act expires at the end of September, ensuring state DOTs have the funding and federal partnership they need to advance our quality of life and economic prosperity.”

Laredo Morning Times explains how the “middle ring in Houston’s dartboard of highways” has acquired several names — Beltway 8, Sam Houston Parkway, Sam Houston Tollway or simply “the Beltway” — and comments, “If you aren’t sure which you’re on, the Harris County Toll Road Authority will be sure to track you down and let you know.” (TRN asks again, are highway designations supposed to confuse motorists? Maybe they shouldn’t.)
