The committee approved H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250 Act, a five-year surface transportation reauthorization bill, after a 14-hour markup; the committee release describes the bill as investing in transportation programs and moving to the House floor.

Independent committee confirmation that the transportation reauthorization bill advanced out of committee, supporting DeSaulnier’s funding push but still short of delivery.

Section 3010, titled “Technical assistance and workforce development,” says the Secretary may issue grants for technical assistance and codifies FTA’s Transit Workforce Development Center to improve access to on-the-job training opportunities, develop and maintain a workforce development strategy, and build awareness of youth-oriented programs for students.

Bill text-level evidence that the underlying measure contains dedicated workforce-development and training funding/authorities for transportation, matching the claim’s substance.
