As of today, Congress (in particular, the House) has 16 days to come up with a solution to the ongoing debate about federal transportation spending.  On Wednesday, March 14th, the Senate passed a bi-partisan 2 year bill, that would keep our transportation infrastructure/and public transit in operation.  The House has to find a way to come to an agreement with Tea Party republicans who initially insisted on cutting public transportation funds.  Our University Transportation Center at UD is funded through this authorization bill.  We are keeping close tabs on this as it will have an impact on our transportation research, but also how it will impact each employee & students commute.
