Federal Legislative Agenda for the 118th Congress Amendments
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2022 4:40 pm
Colleagues,
On December 1st, we will be considering adoption of the City of Austin's Federal Legislative Agenda for the 118th Congress. Here are a number of items I would like to suggest we add to the federal agenda and plan to draft as formal amendments:
Public Health:
-Codify the Roe v Wade abortion access standard.
Mobility and Infrastructure:
-Create federal incentives for electric bike purchases.
-Support expansion of passenger rail service on the Amtrak Texas Eagle corridor from San Antonio to Fort Worth.
-Add pedestrian safety metrics to federal vehicle safety ratings.
I may identify additional federal legislative priorities prior to our meeting on December 1, and I invite you all to post your ideas for amendments to this thread as well.
Best,
Paige Ellis
