As Congress grapples with budget issues, OC business leaders urge lawmakers to renew ‘critical’ transportation funding

Orange County business leaders and transit officials are urging Congress to reauthorize federal transportation funding under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act before its September 30 expiration. Regional leaders warn that lapses in funding could derail major highway widening, bridge repair, and transit infrastructure projects across Southern California. Several local congressional representatives have expressed support for reauthorization amidst broader federal budget negotiations.
