Cloture Vote on Senate Transportation Bill Falls Short

By Tom Madrecki, March 6, 2012

WASHINGTON D.C. — President and CEO Geoffrey Anderson released the following statement after the Senate’s cloture vote today on its surface transportation authorization:

“Smart Growth America is disheartened to learn that members could not reach full agreement and cloture on MAP-21. Though today’s efforts were unsuccessful, we remain confident in the Senate’s bi-partisan bill and will continue working with legislators as they refine their proposals.”

The Senate cloture vote failed 52-44. Lawmakers have until March 31 to pass a new authorization or temporary extension of current programs and funding levels.
