On July 29th Congress yet again failed to come to agreement on a long-term infrastructure bill and instead settled for a three month patch that will run out on October 29th. This is the 34th short-term extension in the past ten years. Long-term legislation is needed for PEs to properly plan, design, implement, construct, operate and maintain our nation's infrastructure systems. NSPE urges Congress in the strongest terms possible to stop lurching from one infrastructure funding crisis to another. NSPE members should contact their elected officials immediately to urge passage of a six-year bill. Take action today with NSPE’s latest advocacy campaign!
