Senate blocks funds for transit in highway bill debate
The Senate debated a three year, 18.2 billion highway bill with amendments to allow urban highway funds to be used for mass transit. A Muskie Baker amendment passed 49 to 44 to permit cities to decide on using 850 million annually for subways buses or rail. The chamber also voted to boost mass transit grants by 3 billion through 1977 to 6.1 billion with 90 percent matching. The House faces tough odds as highway lobby opposes shifting funds.
