US Senate stopgap fails to renew more than $38B a year in state transportation funding

The US Senate stopgap spending bill does not renew $38.6 billion in annual transportation funding from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law, which expires Sept. 30. The stopgap measure, passed by the Senate, keeps the government funded at current levels through Dec. 11 but leaves states facing budget cuts starting Oct. 1, affecting transportation programs for bridges, airports, and transit.
