The Coalition of Northeastern Governors, a non-partisan association consisting of the governors of New York and the six New England states: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine— is urging transportation leaders on Capitol Hill to act quickly to ensure continuity and stability of the nation's highway, transit, rail and safety programs and the Highway Trust Fund. With the current authorization of federal surface transportation programs set to expire October 29, 2015, CONEG strongly encourages the House and Senate to enact a fully funded, multi-year authorization bill that includes a sustainable revenue stream dedicated to the Highway Trust Fund. CONEG also stresses that a fully funded, long-term highway bill will provide the assurance of future year funds and the stability needed to efficiently execute capital programs that transcend multiple fiscal years. |
