“Given his experience serving as the mayor of America’s fifth-largest city-Phoenix, Arizona-Representative Stanton is the right person at the right time to take on this leadership role, especially as our Committee gets ready to introduce transformational surface transportation legislation in the coming weeks," Chair DeFazio said. “I look forward to working closely with Representative Stanton as we move our nation’s infrastructure and transportation systems into the modern era and help communities of all sizes across the country."
“I welcome my colleague from Arizona, Congressman Greg Stanton, as Vice Chair of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure subcommittee I lead, Highways and Transit," Chair Norton said. “He brings years of expertise and service to the position and we share priorities for climate-friendly transportation ideas to move America forward."
“We have a real opportunity to make a transformative investment in our nation’s infrastructure, and I look forward to helping to lead the Subcommittee’s work to advance our highways and transit systems in this role," Rep. Stanton said. “I know firsthand the economic outcomes good public transit and infrastructure projects can deliver to local communities-and as Vice Chair, I’m committed to working across the aisle and with our partners in cities, towns and Tribal communities to help make those projects a reality."
