Amtrak's newly renovated boarding platform at Penn Station was unveiled by state, local, and federal officials to improve high-speed train services. The initiative aims to expand economic opportunities and improve rail access in Baltimore. The T&I Committee marked up legislation to reform Clean Water Act permitting, increase rail transportation access for people with disabilities, and improve FEMA consideration of wildfire mitigation projects. The committee also passed bills to streamline permitting processes under the Clean Water Act and improve wildfire mitigation efforts. Additionally, the Think DIFFERENTLY Transportation Act, aimed at making trains and rail stations accessible to individuals of all abilities, was sent to the House Floor by the @TransportGOP committee.
I'm thankful to the @TransportGOP committee for sending my Think DIFFERENTLY Transportation Act to the House Floor. Amtrak’s management still has work to do to make trains & rail stations accessible to individuals of all abilities. My bipartisan bill will make this happen. https://t.co/061fUB5cm2
