NATSO President and CEO Lisa Mullings currently serves on the Highway Users Alliance Board of Directors.

The Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee in May advanced a bipartisan, five-year, $303.5 billion highway reauthorization bill, “Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021.”

NATSO applauded the Committee for ensuring that highway and infrastructure programs are adequately funded without repealing the federal prohibitions on tolling existing interstates or commercializing rest areas.

In a press statement, NATSO President Lisa Mullings applauded Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) and Ranking Member Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.VA.) for introducing the bipartisan effort to address the nation’s critical infrastructure needs through the ‘Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2021.

 “This measure marks a critical step in ensuring that we adequately fund surface transportation and address the nation’s infrastructure needs. We look forward to working with Congress to ensure that we advance those opportunities that harness the private sector’s ingenuity to take meaningful steps to improve the environment,” Mullings said.
