Rep. Meadows introduces infrastructure bill

Congressman Mark Meadows, R-NC, recently introduced the Revamping American Infrastructure Act, a bill he says will provide a better path forward for modernizing the nation’s infrastructure through a targeted outcome and performance-based approach to reduce regulatory obstacles in the transportation sector.

The bill would require the Department of Transportation to perform a comprehensive review of its regulations and develop a detailed strategy to replace the most outdated or unnecessary regulations with outcome, performance-based alternatives to the most rigorous regulations on the books. 

“Developing the nation’s transportation infrastructure is a critical driving force of the economy,” Meadows said. “I’m confident this bipartisan bill will allow for a thorough review of regulations by the Department of Transportation and pave the way for a more efficient system of regulatory outcomes focused on revamping our nation’s infrastructure system for Americans.”
