By a vote of 293-127, the House approved HR 4348, a 90-day extension of the surface transportation programs through Sept. 30.
The legislation will act as a vehicle to conference with the Senate on a longer-term transportation reauthorization bill.
H.R. 4348 was amended on the House floor to include the environmental streamlining provisions from H.R. 7, the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act, the five-year comprehensive transportation reauthorization bill that was reported from the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee earlier this year but was lacking sufficient support.
