Congressman Brad Sherman

Representing the 32nd District of California

Transportation

  

 

Since my arrival in Congress, I have helped lead the effort to reduce congestion on our local roads and highways and improve transit service throughout our community. 

 

I secured federal funds to initiate several improvements at the 101/405 interchange – one of the busiest bottlenecks in the nation.

Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act 

The need for long-term investment in our infrastructure is clear.

I was proud to help pass President Joe Biden's historic Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that will make life better for millions of Californians, create a generation of good-paying union jobs and economic growth, and position the United States to win the 21st century.

Specifically, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will help our community by:

-Repairing and rebuilding our roads and bridges with a focus on climate change mitigation, resilience, equity, and safety for all users, including cyclists and pedestrians.

-Improving healthy, sustainable transportation options

-Building a network of electric vehicle chargers to facilitate long-distance travel and provide convenient charging options.

-Preparing more of our infrastructure for the impacts of climate change, cyber-attacks, and extreme weather events.

As our nation emerges from the pandemic, now is the time to think boldly – and this transformative legislation represents an important step toward building a stronger, cleaner, fairer future for the San Fernando Valley and the United States.


 

Improving Transportation 

Reducing congestion and improving transit service is critical to the competitiveness of our regional economy as well as our quality of life. 

Recently, I testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to increase federal funding for the Sepulveda Pass Corridor Project.

Linking the Valley to the Purple Line in West Los Angeles, with a future connection to LAX, provides the best opportunity to draw large numbers of commuters out of their cars and lessen traffic on the 405 freeway.

Securing Federal Funds for Transportation Projects 

Throughout my time in Congress, I have fought and secured millions in federal funds for road improvement and mass-transit projects.

Most recently, I secured through a select committee the advancement of over $21 million in federal funds for major transportation improvement projects throughout our community, including funding for numerous projects to improve local road safety throughout our community
