Statement
This Subcommittee has increased funding for the FAA over the past several years, and in a year where we hope to see a FAA reauthorization passed through Congress, it is critical we continue to provide critical investments. It is our duty to continue to help the FAA modernize its air traffic control system, improve efficiency, transition legacy equipment into modern platforms, and develop a highly skilled workforce.

Statement
These cuts would be devastating. The safety of our communities and our transportation infrastructure depends on strong investments which, in a bipartisan way, we have been able to do in the last two years—in 2022 and 2023. They should continue to move in that direction.

Statement
What the annual spending bill can do is provide the steady investment our nation needs to move beyond a state of good repair for our transit networks and ensure these networks are as safe, resilient, and as efficient as possible. In essence, it gets us closer to closing the funding gap, leverages other public and private resources, and helps put shovels in the ground.

Statement
"Examining the management challenges facing the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development helps this subcommittee make informed decisions about how we invest resources. Whether it is aging IT infrastructure, a shrinking workforce, or private sector development outpacing Federal regulation, DOT and HUD require effective oversight and fine-tuning."
