Rep. Van Duyne Publishes Washington Times Op-ed on Transportation
September 19, 2022
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Van Duyne published an Op-ed today in the Washington Times on Democrats' transportation policy failures and her efforts to address them.
"In California, disastrous legislation like Assembly Bill 5 stopped 70,000 truck drivers from doing their jobs and owning their businesses.
Despite being a total failure at the state level, Democrats in Congress are pushing the PRO Act which, if enacted, would cause the same fate for 350,000 truck drivers across the nation.
Rather than working to stop drivers, make infrastructure more complicated and add burdensome regulation, Democrats in Congress should look for bipartisan pragmatic solutions.
Legislation such as the DRIVE Safe Act would alleviate the biggest regulatory barrier preventing the trucking industry from recruiting the next generation of truck drivers."
