Shuster Highlights Independent ATC in Campaign Kickoff
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee is expected to immediately turn to FAA reauthorization with the March 31 deadline looming.

U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee chairman Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) highlights his efforts to separate the nation’s air traffic control organization into an independent organization as part of his reelection campaign that kicked off this week. In his announcement, Shuster listed a number of broader stances—from healthcare to immigration policy—and also focused on transportation issues. “I am also currently working on an FAA reauthorization bill that puts conservative principles into action by taking over 30,000 employees off the government payroll,” he told constituents.
