Discussed potential modifications to the Air Carriers Access Act to allow a private right of action. Discussed the Local Flexibility for Transit Assistance Act (H.R. 3200). This legislation would allow public transportation systems to use some of their federal Urbanized Area Formula Program funds (Section 5307) to pay for operating costs, and provide this flexibility only to communities that are suffering from sudden spikes in fuel costs or high unemployment. Supported the National Surface Transportation and Freight Policy Act (Title XII of S. 1950). This legislation would ensure a comprehensive national strategy for breaking gridlock, reducing fatality rates, reducing our dependence on foreign oil, and efficiently moving goods and people while improving access, quality of life, and public health. Discussed the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) (S. 1813) and the American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act (H.R. 7). We support a final bill that will support transit and meet the specific needs of people with disabilities.
