Congressman Sires Votes in Favor of the INVEST in America Act

Statement

(Washington, D.C.) -- Today, Congressman Albio Sires (D-NJ) voted in favor of the Investing in a New Vision for the Environment and Surface Transportation (INVEST) in America Act. The bill invests $547 to improve our nation's surface transportation infrastructure, including roads, bridges, transit, and rail, and takes crucial steps to address the climate crisis by reducing carbon pollution and increasing climate resiliency.

"I'm pleased to vote in favor of the INVEST in America Act today," said Rep. Sires. "In New Jersey, drivers lose an average of $713 dollars per year from driving on our roads, and 7.8 percent of our bridges are structurally deficient. The INVEST in America Act makes key investments in our surface transportation infrastructure to boost our economy and protect public safety and includes funding for critical transportation projects in the 8th District. This bill is a win for New Jersey, and I'm proud to support it."
