Congress will have nearly three weeks to clear for the White House spending bills for the upcoming fiscal year to avert a partial shutdown. Funding authority for federal agencies expires Oct. 1. Last month, the appropriations panel easily advanced the Transportation Department fiscal 2025 funding bill.

“It is critical that we prioritize significant investments to improve our nation’s airports, roads, bridges and ports as well as increase the supply of safe, affordable housing for communities throughout the country,” added Collins (R-Maine) about the bill, which also would fund programs at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. On the other side of the Capitol, the Republican-led House has yet to schedule a floor vote on its committee-passed version.
