Senate approves $18 billion highway bill with transit option
The Senate approved an $18 billion three year highway authorization bill by a 77 to 5 vote, including $850 million in optional funds for mass transit. The measure moves to the House after earlier deadlock, with hearings set to begin Monday. Proponents urge diverting highway funds to urban transit, while truck-lobby clashes over weight limits also shaped the debate. The plan earmarks about $3.25 billion yearly for interstate work, aiming to complete 42,000 miles of highways started in 1956 by 1982. The highway fund remains a focal point as lawmakers contest using gas tax revenues for roads and transit alike.
