RVIA Applauds Passage of Historic Infrastructure Bill
The RV Industry Association is celebrating the passage of the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill over the weekend, saying its will greatly benefit the nation’s core infrastructure priorities.
The House of Representatives passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package, late on Nov. 5 and the bipartisan legislation is now on its way to the White House, where President Biden has committed to signing it. This $1.2 trillion hard infrastructure bill, which reauthorizes surface transportation programs and provides $550 billion in new federal investments in America’s infrastructure over the next five years, previously passed the Senate on a bipartisan basis. The bill is a historic investment in our nation’s core infrastructure priorities, including highways, roads, bridges, clean water, high speed Internet, transit, passenger rail, and includes a number of provisions beneficial to the RV industry.
“While fixing our roads and bridges on and around our nation’s iconic parks, forests, and gateway communities is a good economic investment for our country generally, these investments will also go a long way to improve the RV consumer experience and increase access to the great outdoors for all Americans,” said Chris Bornemann, RV Industry Association director of government affairs. “This essential funding will also help deploy critical EV technologies and ensure that current and future RVers are able to travel on safe and adequate roads to access unparalleled outdoor experiences for generations to come.”
The RV Industry Associations Government Affairs worked closely with Congress and the Administration on provisions in the bill. Click here to read more.
