A bipartisan group of senators from the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee on May 22 introduced a $303.5 billion surface transportation bill.

The legislation, if enacted, would reauthorize Department of Transportation (DOT) funding for highways, roads, and bridges, which is due to expire in September. The proposed spending is 34 percent higher than that previously authorized by Congress in 2015.
