"Lawmakers and States Push Back Against Federal Highway Sign Rules"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Hill

Democratic Rep. Greg Stanton and Republican Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. penned a letter to the Federal Highway Administration expressing concerns about a new traffic safety rule that restricts humorous or pop culture-related messages on road signs, citing "unnecessary federal overreach." They argue that state departments of transportation should have the flexibility to tailor messaging for their residents and request clarification on the reasoning behind the decision.

Amtrak Pursues Grants and Plans to Expand Passenger Rail Services.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by The Arizona Republic

Rep. Greg Stanton is advocating for the return of Amtrak passenger train service to Phoenix, the largest city in the U.S. without intercity passenger rail service. Stanton believes that the lack of rail service impedes mobility for Phoenix residents and negatively impacts the city's economy. Amtrak is seeking to improve and extend service using $716 million provided by the 2022 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and part of this initiative would include bringing back a stop for the Sunset Limited in Phoenix. Stanton and other lawmakers are also pushing for train service between Tucson and Phoenix.
