On May 17, U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-Wash.) released a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill that will provide funding certainty and support investment in U.S. roads, bridges, rail systems, and other infrastructure projects. Passage of this legislation is a key priority for the industrial metals and manufacturing industries since the existing authorization expires on Sept. 30, 2026.
