Rep. Scott Votes for Major Transportation Improvements

Statement

Today, Rep. David Scott voted to approve a major bi-partisan transportation bill. The Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) reauthorizes highway, bridge, transportation safety, and public transit projects for the next five years. The FAST Act (H.R. 22) passed by a vote of 359-65.

"I have a message to fed-up commuters in metro Atlanta -- help is on the way," Congressman Scott said. "Metro Atlanta has some of the most dangerous intersections and some of the worst traffic congestion in America. After years of inaction on long-term transportation funding, Congress has finally agreed to a plan that will fund transportation work for five years. The FAST Act will create jobs for engineers and contractors and help get Georgia moving ahead."
