Tom Reed
WASHINGTON – Congressman Tom Reed (R-Corning) has officially introduced a bill in the House of Representatives, which he says will save taxpayer money while expediting local highway safety improvements. Reed introduced The Remove Unnecessary Roadblocks to Local Transportation Safety Projects Act, which will provide paperwork exemptions for certain routine highway safety projects that do not entail substantial land acquisition. Examples of such projects include guide rail replacements and installation of signs, pavement markers and traffic signals. Reed said the legislation is another piece of common sense lawmaking that will allow safety improvements to move forward more quickly and at less cost to taxpayers. The bill will be assigned to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration.
