Craig Caplan @CraigCaplan - House Transportation Cmte today marks up its 5-year surface transportation bill. WH is calling for the Railway Safety Act, co-sponsored by former Ohio Sens.

Senate Transportation Cmte approved the Railway Safety Act 3 years ago this month 16-11, but no further action was taken by the Senate. Vance & Schmitt (MO) were the only Republicans to vote Yes.
