The Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Act includes over $42 million in directed spending secured by Britt to modernize and upgrade transportation infrastructure in local communities across Alabama. These investments in key Alabama priorities include improvements to roads in rural communities, regional airports, and inland port infrastructure, that would improve safety while also empowering economic development and creating jobs in local communities.
This Act includes the amendment authored by Sen. J.D. Vance , which would ensure that the U.S. Department of Transportation cannot implement or enforce any type of mask mandate on airplanes, railroads, buses, and public transit. Britt voted in favor of this amendment on the Senate floor and is a co-sponsor of Sen. Vance’s Freedom to Breathe Act, which would implement a similar ban.
The Energy and Water Development Act includes almost $73 million in directed spending secured by Britt for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This includes over $20 million to revitalize and repair the George W. Andrews Lock and Dam and over $18 million to support maintenance dredging, disposal area maintenance, and recreation facilities on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
