I also want to comment the u. S. Department of transportation for acting quickly to release funds, emergency funds and provide assistance. Were here to examine the implementation of the fast act with our state and local partners. The fast act is a first long term surface transportation reauthorization bill in a decade and important for the 21st century. As a fiveyear bill provides very much needed certainty and funneledi funding to our partners. Fact that fast act is a forward looking law that puts an emphasis on projects of national significance, the movement streamlining project delivery and Innovative Solutions to transportation challenges. As they carry out the projects, the witnesses have a firsthand view of how federal transportation policies are being implemented by the u. S. Department of transportation. We look forward to building a 21st century infrastructure with our state and local partners. I now recognize you for your opening statement. Thank you very much, mr. Chairman.
