Evidence

Congresswoman Dina Titus introduced the Modal Parity in Permitting Act on April 15, 2026, and her office said the bill is “on Congresswoman Titus’s list of priorities for surface transportation reauthorization” and that she “will be pushing for its inclusion in the package” as a senior Transportation & Infrastructure Committee member and rail subcommittee ranking member.

Strong evidence of active push/effort to include the bill in the surface transportation reauthorization package; no evidence in this source that inclusion was achieved.

The committee states that one of its main priorities for the 119th Congress is passing the next bipartisan, multi-year surface transportation reauthorization before the current law expires on September 30, 2026.

Provides context that reauthorization is still pending as of the lookback window, which means Titus’s requested inclusion remains unresolved unless later bill text shows otherwise.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Available evidence shows Dina Titus introduced the Modal Parity in Permitting Act in April 2026 and explicitly said she would push for its inclusion in the forthcoming surface transportation reauthorization package. Official bill records confirm introduction and referral, but there is no evidence here that the measure was actually included in the reauthorization package or enacted. Additional context indicates the broader reauthorization process was still pending, so the promise to push for inclusion appears actively underway rather than completed or failed. Because the promise is about advocacy for inclusion and the record shows a concrete push but no final outcome yet, the best judgment is unresolved with clear effort during the same term.
