Hurd made a serious legislative attempt by sponsoring H.R. 6168, the Airport TIFIA Financing Certainty Act, which directly matched the promise to keep airports eligible for TIFIA funding. But the official bill record still shows the bill only introduced/referred to the Aviation Subcommittee, with no House passage, Senate passage, presidential approval, or public-law status. The current statutory text still limits airport-related TIFIA eligibility to projects with DOT letter-of-interest and eligibility determinations by September 30, 2025, so the promised continuation has not been delivered.

Public state: unverifiedAs of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never.same_termA for effort
Hurd clearly made and acted on this promise by introducing H.R. 6168, the Airport TIFIA Financing Certainty Act, to allow airports to continue applying for and receiving TIFIA funding. That constitutes a serious legislative effort. But the available record shows the bill was only introduced and referred to committee/subcommittee, with no committee approval, floor passage, enactment, or other completed policy change. DOT materials indicate airport eligibility existed under prior law only through September 30, 2025, and there is no evidence here that Hurd’s proposal extended or permanently preserved that eligibility. Under the rubric, a serious attempt that did not achieve the promised outcome is scored as never with effort credit.
