Modernizing our Infrastructure
Arizona is one of the fastest growing states, and as a former mayor of Phoenix and the current Vice Ranking Member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I know that improving all forms of transportation will make Arizonans’ lives better--and it’s great for business too.
That’s why I was so proud to work on the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law—a once in a generation investment to improve our roadways, airports, public transit, and more. I won’t stop working to leverage this legislation for the East Valley, whether it’s heading to Sky Harbor, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway or Valley Metro.
I’m focused on growing Arizona’s clean energy transit options--expanding the Rio East-Dobson Streetcar and securing $2.3 million for an on-demand public transportation service in the East Valley that will target areas with little to no regular public transit service.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Martha McSally (R-AZ) and Representative Greg Stanton (D-AZ) today introduced a bill to accelerate the development of Interstate 11 (I-11) in Arizona.
The legislation would provide new federal assistance to complete the required Tier II Environmental Impact Study for segments of the project.
Boeing Co. President Dennis Muilenburg testifies before House lawmakers Wednesday, the day after being peppered with tough question in the Senate during his first appearance before lawmakers since a pair of the planemaker's 737 Max jets crashed, killing 346 people.
In both crashes, faulty data from one of two angle-of-attack sensors, which measure the pitch of the plane against the oncoming stream of air, caused a flight control system called MCAS to drive down the jet's nose, which pilots struggled to counteract before ultimately entering a fatal dive.
In a tense and revelatory hearing Wednesday, a U.S. House committee presented startling new evidence from internal Boeing documents showing that, before the first crash in 2018, some company engineers had discovered that a failure in a new flight-control system could be "potentially catastrophic" - information that was dismissed and never communicated to regulators.
Changing 2% to 3% may seem small, but it has encompassed almost five years of work so far for officials with the Mountain Line bus system who have been pushing Congress to increase the federal funding received by high achieving public transit agencies in small communities.

Marc Veasey (TX-33) earlier this year, to reauthorize and increase funding for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG). This legislation provides the EECBG program with $3.5 billion annually for the next five years to provide states, local governments, and Indian tribes assistance to reduce fossil fuel emissions and conserve energy.
A controversial light rail project in Phoenix received a $100 million grant from the federal government this week - just more than a month before city voters will weigh in on whether to kill it and all future light rail development.
The Federal Transit Administration announced the funding July 9 for the South Central Phoenix light rail extension. The project calls for extending the existing Metro light rail line down Central and First avenues from downtown Phoenix all the way to South Mountain.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Greg Stanton today introduced a bill that would help grow an in-demand sector of Arizona's workforce: wastewater management workers. The municipal drinking water, wastewater and stormwater management sector is facing extremely high turnover rates without enough skilled workers to replace them. Stanton's bill aims to shrink that gap in Arizona.
