Senate passes transportation spending plan, restricts Mexican truck access. (Policy and...

Publication: Public Roads
Date: Saturday, September 1 2001

The U.S. Senate approved a $60.1 billion transportation appropriations bill, S. 1178, on Aug. 1 that provides $225 million for the federally managed Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) program. The U.S. House of Representatives passed their version of the spending plan, H.R. 2299, in late

June.

--ITS America

President George W Bush wants Mexican trucks to have broad access to the United States in keeping with North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) provisions. However, the Senate bill would restrict the number of Mexican truckers allowed to travel freely, and the House spending bill prohibits any expansion. The White House has threatened to veto the final spending bill if the Mexican trucks remain restricted.
