U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, questioned Shailen Bhatt during a hearing to consider his nomination to serve as administrator of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
During the hearing, Ranking Member Capito urged Bhatt, if confirmed, to implement the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) as written, ensure states have the flexibility to address their unique transportation needs, and shared her disappointment in the Department of Transportation’s lack of responsiveness over the past six months.
