Committee Approves Womack's Fiscal Year 2027 Funding Bill to Strengthen Transportation and Housing Programs | U.S. Congressman Steve Womack

This bill refocuses taxpayer dollars on priorities that matter to the American people-safety, mobility, economic growth, and housing affordability. We invest more than $64 billion in highways, with the overwhelming majority sent directly to states by formula, because states-not Washington-are best positioned to deliver roads and bridges that improve safety, strengthen freight movement, and support local economies.

He commits to large highway investments delivered mostly by formula to states to improve safety and freight movement.

Evidence

"The bill prioritizes transportation safety" and increases FAA funding by $2.307 billion over FY25 enacted levels, with resources to hire 2,500 new air traffic controllers and replace aging telecommunications infrastructure.

Womack publicly advanced a transportation appropriations bill centered on transportation safety, especially aviation safety and infrastructure. This is concrete legislative action supporting the claim, though it is policy work rather than final enactment.

Womack said the FAA and local airport modernization are about maintaining a safe, efficient, and modern national airspace; the release says the new XNA air traffic control tower improves safety and operational capacity, and notes the FY2026 appropriations bill increased FAA funding.

This shows continued active prioritization of aviation safety in the current term, including a public event tied to FAA modernization and airport safety improvements.

A May 21, 2026 entry states that Womack led the FY2027 THUD markup and that "The bill prioritizes transportation safety—on our…" It also records an open hearing and other transportation-focused committee actions in March and May 2026.

This is strong same-term evidence that Womack remained actively focused on transportation safety policy in 2026, including committee leadership and hearings.

The committee report for H.R. 4552 shows, "Mr. Womack, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted the following report" for the FY2026 THUD appropriations bill.

This official report confirms Womack’s authorship/committee leadership on the appropriations measure that carried transportation-safety funding priorities.

The release says the package provides full-year funding and includes items that bolster public safety and supply-chain logistics; it reflects continued support for appropriations work tied to transportation-related safety and infrastructure.

This is indirect evidence of broader funding and safety priorities, but it does not specifically prove delivery of the railroad/highway/aviation safety promise.

The budget page lists recent 2026 appropriations and transportation-related actions, showing ongoing engagement with committee work and funding measures, but no standalone final-law delivery for the specific transportation safety promise in the lookback window.

No direct fulfillment or reversal is evident from this index page; it mainly corroborates continued effort in the same policy area.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

The promise is broad and process-oriented: to prioritize transportation safety across railroads, highways, and aviation. The evidence shows Womack materially acted on that priority in the same term through appropriations leadership, including authoring/submitting the FY2026 THUD report and publicly advancing a bill he said prioritizes transportation safety, with notable FAA safety funding increases and aviation modernization support. However, the record provided does not show clear final-law delivery or demonstrable completed outcomes spanning all three named modes (railroads, highways, and skies). Because there is substantial same-term legislative effort and partial policy advancement, but not enough proof of full fulfillment of the overall promise, the best judgment is partial rather than delivered.
