Arlington, Virginia 鈥 Today, 黑料不打烊 President and CEO Chris Spear issued the following statement after Senate Republicans released their five-year infrastructure proposal: 聽

鈥淟egislating takes compromise, and it鈥檚 encouraging to see Republicans, led by Senator Shelley Moore Capito, present their proposal for addressing our nation鈥檚 pressing infrastructure needs.

鈥淭his proposal is a good start and more in line with the investment in last year鈥檚 House transportation bill led by Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Peter DeFazio. The trucking industry, along with all Americans who utilize our roads and bridges, knows the time for infrastructure investment is overdue. We need more members of Congress willing to work together on critical priorities, and we cheer the efforts by the President and the Republicans and Democrats in Congress who are brave enough to try and find a consensus.鈥
