Washington, D.C. – Today Representative Dina Titus of Nevada’s First Congressional District, a senior member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, released the following statement after President Biden announced a bipartisan infrastructure framework:

“I’m pleased to hear President Biden has reached an agreement to pursue a bipartisan hard infrastructure package in tandem with a budget plan to achieve the comprehensive agenda laid out in the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan,” said Congresswoman Titus (NV-1). “Together, these ambitious proposals will create millions of good-paying jobs, directly combat the climate crisis, and make it easier to break into the middle class and stay in the middle class. I’m confident the hard infrastructure proposal will help connect Las Vegas to Phoenix via I-11, reduce traffic on I-15, and bring high-speed rail between Southern Nevada and Southern California. Ultimately, these investments will allow Las Vegas to remain a top international travel destination for decades to come and create new job opportunities in our community.”
