Smith: ATSSA members’ diligence made a difference with IIJA Smith: ATSSA members’ diligence made a difference with IIJA ATSSA Town Hall breaks down details of the infrastructure bill Pam / Thursday, November 18, 2021 0 5707 Article rating: 2.0 ATSSA Vice President of Engagement Nate Smith told ATSSA members today that their diligence over the past 15 to 20 years played a significant role in the funding coming to roadway safety under the new infrastructure law. “You all should pat yourselves on the back,” Smith said during an ATSSA Town Hall to discuss the impact of the bipartisan infrastructure bill that was signed into law on Monday. “This is a job well done.” The $1.2 trillion measure is a historic investment in transportation funding and includes a 5-year, $304 billion investment in roads and bridges, Smith said. He noted that’s a 34% increase over current spending for the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) and translates into $16.8 billion over five years for the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). Smith said he’s confident the HSIP funding will mean additional opportunities for ATSSA members. Read more
