Coalition Urges Passage of FY 2026 THUD Bill

1/22/2026

A coalition of more than 40 organizations, including APTA, urges Congress to pass H.R. 7148, which contains the FY 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) spending bill. The bill provides funding for core highway, public transportation, and airport construction programs at previously authorized levels.

Currently, more than 100,000 transportation projects are advancing with federal funding support. The continuity provided by timely action on appropriations ensures state departments of transportation and local public transportation agencies can keep these projects moving. These projects improve safety, mobility, and economic prosperity in nearly every community, and allow businesses to continue investing in the people and equipment necessary to build.

The coalition urges all members to vote YES on H.R. 7148 when it comes to a vote in the House and Senate.
