I respectfully request that you include Empty Lots to Housing Act in the Surface Transportation Reauthorization.

Mullin urged inclusion of his housing-repurposing bill in the surface transportation reauthorization and framed it as a priority for the 119th Congress.

The Empty Lots to Housing Act would help cut the bureaucratic red tape that has prevented local communities from developing housing on land previously acquired with funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that is no longer needed for its original purpose.

Mullin is backing legislation to make it easier to redevelop underused FHWA-owned lots near transit into housing.

Evidence

The official House floor schedule for the week of June 1, 2026 listed several bills for consideration, but it did not list any surface transportation reauthorization bill, the BUILD America 250 Act, or any housing measure tied to the Empty Lots to Housing Act. Page search found no matches for transportation, BUILD America, or housing.

No concrete floor-action sign in the lookback window that the housing rider was added to a transportation reauthorization vehicle.

A May 29 report said the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved the BUILD America 250 Act on May 22, but the measure still needed full House and Senate action. The reporting described autonomous-trucking rules, remote-operator requirements, and workforce training grants, not the Empty Lots to Housing Act.

The relevant transportation vehicle remained pending and visible provisions were unrelated to the housing promise, so there is still no delivery signal.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Mullin materially advanced and achieved the promised inclusion during his current House service. He led introduction of the Empty Lots to Housing Act on May 29, 2025 and publicly identified it on June 27, 2025 as one of his priorities for inclusion in the 2026 Surface Transportation Reauthorization. On May 22, 2026, his office stated that the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee approved the Empty Lots to Housing Act and that it was included in the committee-passed Surface Transportation Reauthorization package. Because the promise was to work to include the act in that reauthorization vehicle, not necessarily to finish final enactment of the whole package, this counts as delivered in the same term even though full House and Senate passage were still pending as of June 2026.
