Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Showcases Transportation Bills

On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., said she was backing two transportation bills. Ros-Lehtinen said she would back the TSA Loose Change Act which leaves unclaimed monies gathered from airports to charities backing military families. The congresswoman also came out in support of the Transportation Acquisition Security Reform Act which adds more transparency in how airports puchase new technologies.

Making our transportation system more efficient and more accessible to the public is something we should always strive to attain, Ros-Lehtinen said. Additionally, working to provide the maximum amount of comfort at the airport, a place not known for its calm and serenity, to military families, who have sacrificed so much, is one small step we can take to repay them for their dedication to our nation. The traveling public deserves nothing less than our best efforts to improve our airports and transportation systems.
