Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

My amendment w/ @RepEspaillat, @RepCohen & @RepHankJohnson modestly increases the minimum insurance requirements & requires that it keep up w/inflation. This isn't about trial lawyers or an attack on truckers. It’s about supporting families who have lost loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Minimum insurance requirements for motor carriers were established in 1980 & have never been adjusted for inflation. It’s inadequate and saddles families with crippling medical care costs resulting from catastrophic crashes. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

We need to start a conversation about how our cities & our towns might look if we actually INVESTED in our transit systems. We need to reframe our work in @transportdems as a critical component of the fight for social justice & equity for everyone. Black, Brown, Rural, or Urban. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Imagine: ➡️ Increased access to jobs, especially for Black, Brown, and working class people ➡️ More connectivity for city suburbs & exurbs ➡️ Improved walkability and & potential transit access in small towns ➡️ Reduced greenhouse gas emissions — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

My amendment seeks parity between highways and transit funding and allows us to think about what could be with increased access to affordable transportation for ALL our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

I offer my #TransitEquity amendment which would quadruple transit funding without cutting highways, to highlight that we do not have to operate in a zero-sum game. We do not have to remain tied to over 60-year-old formulas to fund our infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Everyone can agree, our transportation systems are outdated. For decades, we have relied on an 80-20 ratio to fund highways & transit. This split has starved our cities & all our communities from needed transit investments & opportunities for the least among us. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Transportation policy is a social justice issue. Across the country, our built environment has been used to segregate Black & Brown communities. From train tracks to boulevards and highways. Our policies create or break down physical barriers to opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

This amendment forces us to look at the long-term, lifecycle costs for new construction & improves existing cost-benefit analysis requirements. These small but important changes will help ensure we prioritize maintenance & bring our existing infrastructure up to date. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

We can build on the “fix-it-first” principles in the INVEST Act to promote maintenance, and be more fiscally responsible. Both sides can agree that it is irresponsible to continue building new roads while simultaneously neglecting so much infrastructure already in disrepair. — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia

Just introduced an amendment to the INVEST Act with @repgallagher to help prioritize maintenance over building new projects and improve cost benefit analysis requirements to make sure we spend wisely. — PolitiTweet.org
