FYI: From Streetsblog.... Here is an opportunity to hear the input that the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee is receiving on a renewal of the six-year surface transportation spending law (which is overdue for renewal).
However, only invited attendees will be allowed to testify. I will share specific details for the Columbus event as soon as I get them.

Schedule for Transpo Bill Listening Tour Announced
by Tanya Snyder
Yesterday's field hearing of the House Transportation Committee on high-speed rail in New York City wasn't officially part of the series of field hearings on the reauthorization. The tentative schedule hits small towns, big cities, and suburbs:
February 14th – West Virginia (Ranking Democrat Nick Rahall's home state)
February 17th – Philadelphia area (Republican committee freshmen Patrick Meehan and Lou Barletta are from the area, as is Democratic T&I member Tim Holden)
February 18th – Rochester, NY (freshman Republican Tom Reed's district and not too far for some of Richard Hanna's constituents)
February 19-20 – Columbus, Ohio, Indianapolis, and suburbs of Chicago (within reach of four Republican members' districts and one Democrat)
February 21-23 – Portland, OR; Vancouver, WA; Fresno and Southern California (reaching four Republican districts and two Democrat)
The hearings may be focused on specific topics, which haven't been announced yet. Witnesses must be invited to speak.
